The Pucking Girl Next Door

Smith Cabot is known as the ultimate player, in hockey and in life.

Lately though, the high life doesn’t feel the same and it’s starting to affect his game. When his best friend suggests
retreating to the mountains for the holidays to figure out what he wants in life, he jumps at the
chance. Coming up with a plan for his life seems to be easy until he sees Annabelle, his best friend’s little sister, and she’s all grown up.
Annabelle Rogers has always dreamed of a fairytale life. The perfect job. The perfect life. She
had it all planned out, but when her dream job turns out to be a nightmare, everything changes.

Now she’s stuck in a small town named Embers Bend for Christmas, alone.
Things couldn’t possibly get any worse, right? Wrong. She didn’t expect to come face to face with her brother’s best friend, Smith. Not only is she missing time with her family, but she has to figure out how to survive being in the same house
as the boy she’s always had a crush on. Only now he’s a man, all man.

What happens when Smith and Annabelle are snowed in and forced to be together. Will they be able to make it
happily ever after?
