Sugar Cookie Country House — Jean Oram

Because sometimes love doesn't follow the playbook…

When sunshiney Jenny wished for more adventure in her life, she never thought she'd be sent a grumpy hockey player.

But could Dylan's gruff exterior be nothing more than an act? Did this hockey hunk secretly enjoy their spirited debates that upset their friends at Thanksgiving? (Oops.)

Of course, men like him don't go for curvy, small town women… Or do they?

Dylan can't help but be captivated by Jenny's feisty, direct charm. The catch? Despite being benched for an injury that might end his career, he's deep in trade talks that could send him across the continent.

But since meeting Jenny, the idea of a life off the ice isn't nearly as unsettling. Then again, maybe his foot will heal, he'll get the girl, stay with his team, and have it all. Either way, he needs to convince Jenny that all this big-shot wants this holiday season is her.

Get ready for a heartwarming Christmas romance where he falls first in this sunshine and grump sports novel.

Note: This sweet hockey romance can be read as a standalone.
