Welcome to Fort Lauderdale... where the days are hot and the Knights are hotter! Divorced at forty was never in my game plan. Neither was being a long-distance dad. But when the chance to coach the Lauderdale Knights hockey team came knocking, I couldn't resist. I was so focused on the major changes right in front of me, I never saw Autumn Nicholls coming. Blindsided by a whirlwind romance with a woman much younger than me, I’m torn between making her mine and letting her go. She's young, beautiful, and just starting out in life, she doesn’t need me or my baggage. But that doesn’t stop her from taking her shot. The ice may be cold, but our passion is red-hot. And this Christmas, she's going to be the gift I give myself.

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale… where the days are hot and the Knights are hotter! Johan: The last thing I need under my roof is a matchmaker… but that’s exactly what’s going to happen if my grandmother moves from Slovakia to Fort Lauderdale to live with me. She says it’s because she’s lonely, but I know better. She’s planning to find me a wife. The problem is, I already have my eye on someone: my teammate’s sister. She’s gorgeous, sexy—and not staying in Florida. But now that I’ve had a taste, I don’t want her to leave. And I don’t know how to ask her to stay without risking it all. Sloane: I ran away when I was sixteen and I’ve never stopped. From the abuse of my childhood to the trauma of my failed marriage, it’s easier to keep moving. Until the search for my brother leads me to Fort Lauderdale. Once I’m there I find a different kind of family—his team. Especially Johan. My brother warned everyone I’m off limits, but the Slovak hunk is known for breaking the rules both on and off the ice. I just hope he doesn’t break my heart.

Maria: After my husband’s sudden heart attack, I never imagined I’d love again. Until, an ex-biker with striking blue eyes and in desperate need of a haircut comes strutting into our family restaurant, making my heart beat a little faster. But Adam is my daughter's new father-in-law, and off limits. None of my children would approve of us dating. Hooking up is out of the question and marriage… well that’s not possible. Or is it?
