When your grandmother stalks the star hockey player on the rival team because “You need a husband, Dakota—you’re not getting any younger!” it’s Christmas crazy on ice.
It is not, however, the start of our great love story.
I don’t date guys on that team.
He doesn’t do casual, drunken hookups, which is all the captain of the Icebreakers is getting from moi.I give him the finger and tell him I hope he loses his teeth out there.
He smirks and wins the game because both this Christmas season and this hockey season are a fucking scam.Then my younger, much dumber brother informs me that he owes his bookie a bunch of money and really needs the Icebreakers to lose their next game, and could I pretty please be an amazing big sis and date their captain then break his heart so he’ll suck and lose the game—otherwise little bro will get killed, or worse, our mom will find out.
As much as I eye roll my overly large, overly loud family, I’d do anything for them.
Including date the captain of the Icebreakers.Barf.
Ryder is a Boy Scout. He doesn’t swear. He uses words like ma’am and sir. On our date, he opens my door, pulls out my chair, and helps me with my coat. He even volunteers at the local animal shelter and loves handmade sweaters.
No, it is not cute! Three warm, gooey cinnamon rolls dressed up as a six-five, hot AF hockey player are not my type.
At all.
Nope.Santa better bring me something nice this Christmas for all my pain and suffering!
In bed though?
Let’s just say sleeping with the captain of the Icebreakers… is not going to be a problem.

EXCERPT:
“You’re stalking my client,” Hudson yelled at the old woman, who was completely unfazed by his anger.
My teammates’ eyes bugged out like the pugs’, then they all collapsed, howling with laughter, at my feet. Even Coach snickered into his gloves.
“You’re the Crusher?” My mouth dropped open. “You’re the one who’s been stalking me for the last five months?”
“Stalker? Pshaw!” Granny Murray was offended. “I’m not stalking anyone.”
“You’re going to be arrested.” Hudson bore down on the woman.
“Don’t arrest my grandmother,” Dakota snapped at him.
“She’s stalking him.” Hudson made a knife hand in my direction. “Do you know how much goddamn money this woman has cost me?”
“I’m not stalking. I’m leaving him presents and nice notes,” Granny Murray shouted.
Hudson slapped a hand to his forehead. “Notes? They’re fucking pornographic.”
“Now see here.” Granny Murray wagged her finger at the tall man. “I’m just trying to rile him up for Dakota.”
“You frightened him, Gran,” Gracie scolded.
“Oh my god.” Erik gasped at my feet, holding his side. “College Boy is afraid of a little old lady.”
I sputtered, “Shut your mouth, Canada.”
“Are you going to ‘oh heck’ him?” Pete snickered.
“Sonny, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. You seem like a nice boy.” The old woman patted me on the arm.
Hudson slapped her hand away.
“As an apology present”—she grabbed Dakota and pushed her toward me—“I will let you have sex with my granddaughter. She puts out, and her boobs are real.” She squeezed Dakota’s chest.
“Oh, uh…” I rocked back on my skates. “That’s very kind of you, ma’am, but no. No thank you.”
Dakota had the nerve to look offended.
My teammates’ mouths dropped open, then they laid into me.
