Mistletoe Misconduct
Not yet published
Expected 1 Dec 26Santa didn't leave them a gift, but the stork did.
Jayden Diaz is proud of being the youngest ever captain of the Vancouver Comets. He’s the face of the disciplined, dependable, and determined to lead his team to the championship. His reputation is spotless—which is exactly how the team owner, Lance Isles, likes it.
Ellery Isles has spent her life around hockey, but she’s not just the owner’s daughter. As Director of Hockey Operations, she plays an integral part in keeping the team out of chaos. She also likes to mix business with pleasure. So, when a mistletoe kiss turns into much more with the team Captain, Ellery isn’t surprised. Jayden is gorgeous, talented and charming, and Ellery loves to turn a good boy bad for a night.
But it isn’t Santa leaving them a gift after their steamy hook-up – it’s the stork.
And when Lance Isles finds out Ellery is pregnant, he demands to know who the father is so he can “ruin his life”. Having made good on threats before, Ellery knows her dad isn’t joking — Jayden’s position on the team, and in the league, is suddenly precarious.
So, Jayden proposes a solution neither of them wants — marriage.
A fake marriage will give them control of the story, protect Ellery from the media circus, and convince her father that Jayden is committed to his daughter and their child. They’ll live together, attend appearances together, and play the part of the perfect hockey power couple. And then they’ll get divorced in twelve months. Simple.
Except behind closed doors, fake kisses become lingering ones and staged family moments begin to feel dangerously real, their carefully negotiated boundaries start disappearing.
But falling in love was never part of the deal. So as another Christmas approaches, Ellery and Jayden are forced to confront a new if the marriage started as fake, does that make their feelings any less real?
Because sometimes a little misconduct under the mistletoe can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you.
