Las Vegas Sidewinders Series

Dom Gianni takes a lot of punishment in the hockey rink, but when he sees Molly McCarran getting beaten up by her husband, he's ready to throw down his gloves and fight for her. But Molly isn't about to trust another man—and Dom is already skating on thin ice with his NHL-mandated probation. Besides, how could a hotshot player like Dom really care about a woman so much older than he? Then a kidnapping raises the stakes. If Molly can't believe in Dom, and if he can't dig deep to save her, it might be the final buzzer for them both.

The magic of Christmas is in the air and Cody Armstrong has a big surprise for his wife of seven years. Surrounded by their friends and family, he's hoping this will be a Christmas Eve she'll never forget. Suzanne Armstrong finally understands that her sweet, handsome husband didn't just marry her because she was pregnant. This is their first Christmas as a real couple and she has a special surprise for him too. When an old acquaintance shows up on their doorstep with a surprise of her own, it could be the end of the happily ever after they've waited so long to find. Cody will have to prove that Suze is the only woman he's ever loved and she'll have to search her heart to decide whether she can put her faith in him. Facing their biggest obstacle yet, will they come out the other side or will the past shatter any chance for them to have a future?     Note: This is a holiday novella that goes along with the Las Vegas Sidewinders series.
