The Mistletoe Power Play: A Sweet Hockey RomCom Short Read
Liwen Y. Ho
Daisy
I’ve barely been back in my hometown for a day when my sister creates an online dating profile for me—her grand plan to help me rebound from a disastrous breakup. The real problem? My taste in men is awful. The only guy I’ve ever trusted is my childhood best friend, Hudson. Too bad he’s leagues out of reach now…literally.
Hudson
On paper, I’ve got everything I ever wanted—a dream career as an NHL center, loyal teammates, a life I’m proud of. But none of it fills the space Daisy left behind. So when I hear she’s home for good, it feels like my shot to finally tell her how I feel. But with her sister lining up dates for her, I have to act fast. My solution? Offer to “practice date” her. Starting with the Bobcats’ holiday party.
Daisy and Hudson are about to find out whether one bold practice date is the power play that finally moves them out of the friend zone.
