Christmas on Thin Ice – Paperback

One fake relationship. Four weeks. And a Christmas neither of them planned to fall in love.

Claire Bennett has one goal this Christmas: save her struggling event business and make Bellwether Bay’s annual holiday festival a success. Romance is the last thing on her mind, especially with a reputation-conscious professional hockey player complicating her plans.

Alexander Reid is used to pressure on the ice, but a recent media controversy has put his public image at risk. When an unexpected photo of him with Claire sparks dating rumors, his team’s PR manager sees an opportunity. A fake relationship could improve his image, while the publicity might help Claire attract the sponsors her festival desperately needs.

The arrangement comes with rules: no real feelings, no jealousy, no promises beyond Christmas.

But between festive events, playful arguments, stolen glances, and unexpected moments together, pretending begins to feel dangerously real.

As the holiday approaches, the truth threatens to destroy everything they have built. Claire must decide whether she can trust a man who once treated their relationship like a publicity strategy. Alexander must prove that what he feels is more than a convenient story for the cameras.

This Christmas, the hardest thing Alexander Reid will ever have to do may not be winning on the ice. It may be convincing Claire that his heart is finally telling the truth.

Christmas on Thin Ice is a steamy adult hockey romance featuring fake dating, forced proximity, slow-burn chemistry, holiday magic, and a heartwarming happily-ever-after.
