Chipping at the Ice

It's Christmas Eve and Claire Morris is single again. Her family is far away, not that she's keen to spend the holidays with them. Instead, she's alone at the bar in her building and she's spilling her guts to the guy on the stool next to her. She tells him everything, oversharing as usual. She even tells him about that embarrassing episode from last Valentine's Day. And then, she finds herself in his car, on the way to his place, where both of them confess that they don't want to be alone at Christmas.

Luke Beaufort, seasoned hockey goalie, hasn't spent Christmas with anyone since his divorce. He's even forgotten what it's like to have friends, aside from the guys on the team. Until he meets Claire, and from the first stream of conversation, he's hooked, and he knows how he wants to spend the holidays. All of a sudden, they're spending more than Christmas together, and neither wants to stop. But his secrets and her insecurities might be too much for them to handle. They don't want to be alone, but can they make it together?
