Christmas on Ice

Then Alex shows up.

The golden-boy hockey player is stuck in the same Halifax rehab clinic, recovering from an injury that’s put his own future on thin ice. Where Sarah is grumpy, he’s sunshine; where she pushes people away, he finds ways to stay. Against her better judgment, Sarah lets him in—just a little. And in the glow of Christmas lights, with laughter echoing through therapy rooms and whispered secrets warming the coldest days, a fragile hope begins to take root.

But when news arrives from home—her beloved grandfather in Cypressville is gravely ill—Sarah is torn between two lives: the new love she never expected in Canada, and the family who has always held her heart in Louisiana.

As Christmas draws near, Sarah and Alex must decide if distance can break what fate has stitched together—or if love, like skating, demands the courage to risk the fall.

A heartfelt, closed-door romance filled with festive magic, found family, and the reminder that even broken dreams can lead you home.
