Christmas break was supposed to go like this:
At least, that was the plan.
Then Elias Avelino walked into my personal purgatory with his bright smile and eyes that see right through my BS. Suddenly, midnight swims are replacing hockey practice. Stolen kisses are better than scoring goals. And for the first time in my life, I'm not thinking about escapingI'm thinking about staying.
The thing about Eli? He doesn't care about my stats on the ice or my reputation back home. When I'm with him, I'm just Gio. No expectations. No pressure. No pretending.
But paradise comes with an expiration date.
Now I'm facing the biggest game of my life, and the goal isn't winningit's figuring out how to keep the best thing that's ever happened to me. Because I might be a star on the ice, but Eli? He's melting every defense I've ever built.
They say home is where the heart is. I just never expected to find mine halfway across the world.
Looks like this holiday season, I'm playing for keeps.
And this is one hat trick I can't afford to miss.
