Is he ready to face his Christmas Past, Present, and maybe... future?Towing that fancy SUV out of a snowbank in reindeer antlers was mildly embarrassing. Realizing it's my ex-boyfriend behind the wheel? Mortifying. The jerk who ditched me ten years ago for the NHL is back in leather loafers with a development proposal to replace our community rink with luxury condos.Our rink. The place where I coach the subsidized figure skating program. Where his jersey still hangs in the rafters like the ghost of Christmas past.That Scrooge broke my heart once. I'm not going to let him break theirs.The problem? He looks even better than I remember.But this isn't our second chance, it's a war. I'm fighting him for the rink, but after a night trapped in a freezing ice-fishing hut, my defenses are gone. Now we’re replaying our first kiss behind the beer garden tent, and I remember exactly why I never got over him.He left me once already. It would take a Christmas miracle to make him stay, and I stopped believing in those ten years ago. less
