Holiday Shot — Kat Mizera

Divorced at forty was never in my game plan. Neither was being a long-distance dad. But when the chance to coach the Lauderdale Knights hockey team came knocking, I couldn't resist.I was so focused on the major changes right in front of me, I never saw Autumn Nicholls coming. Blindsided by a whirlwind romance with a woman much younger than me, I'm torn between making her mine and letting her go.She's young, beautiful, and just starting out in life, she doesn't need me or my baggage. But that doesn't stop her from taking her shot.The ice may be cold, but our passion is red-hot.And this Christmas, she's going to be the gift I give myself.
