New Year's Ever After: An Accidental Marriage Hockey Romcom

I wake up on New Year’s Day married to a hockey player. Oops. But it’s not what you think. There is a problem, though. I promised my legendary NHL father I’d never even date one. Whoops.

If your so-called friends ever volunteer you for a hypnotist’s act at a New Year’s Eve variety show, don’t walk, skate in the opposite direction because you might just wind up married. Legally.

Now I’m stuck in the world’s most awkward accidental marriage with a man who’s everything I swore to avoid. Well, except the handsome part.

Lane is back in the game after an injury while attempting to keep a low profile. Then his troubled ten-year-old nephew lands on our doorstep. I’m convinced the kid has a female body double when strange things start happening around my bakery.

As a former figure skater, Lane and I work together, and bring it to the ice to help the boy out, but he then makes a run for it. As we try to clean up this mess we’ve made, it’s quite possible someone—or a pair of someones—are playing matchmaker.

Parent trap much? It isn’t the worst. Lane is a secret cinnamon roll under that hard-body exterior. Ask this baker how she knows … the chemistry between us is bubblier than baking soda and vinegar.

Oh, and technically, I only promised never to date a hockey player. Marriage wasn’t mentioned. Could the best New Year’s resolution be the one I never saw coming, or will I be left with nothing but memories and crumbs?
