The Mascot Who Stole Christmas: A Hockey Christmas Romance Short Story

All guts. Zero glory. But a penalty delivered with a dash of blue fur? Now that’s something he would never forget!
Marcus Shaw wanted his chance on the ice and yet a single lie could pull him from it permanently. Only to have the mascot of the Wolverine’s hockey team to come to his rescue.

Harper Webb had always been a fan, but when fate delivered an unexpected chance right in her lap – who was she to say no? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any fan, but why stop there? she didn't. She blurted out that she was Marcus’ wife at the team’s holiday party.

At this rate, a fairy godmother ought to appear any second… right?

Wrong.

Marcus was staring at her like she’d lost her mind – then the impossible he told his team, his coach, and the owner that she was his wife. He confirmed it. His wife. Cue the trumpets, church bells, and heavenly choir, boys and girls.

Is this when her fondest wish turns into fodder? Could this be the holiday miracle she was hoping for... or was she diving headfirst into a festive disaster?

You can enjoy this short holiday story on its own, but fans of the Sticks and Vows hockey series will spot familiar faces.
