EPILOGUE

SLOAN

A cacophony of sound greeted me as I made my way into the Revenge Arena the day after Christmas.

Thankfully, the storm hadn’t been as intense near the airport, though there were delays and a few cancellations. But I made it, and so had Josie and Jacob, who sent me a text when they landed, along with info for the family skate.

Families wearing Revenge hoodies and jerseys dotted the ice, a few sitting in the team boxes sipping hot cocoa or talking.

“You must be Sloan!” A tall woman with long brown hair made her way to me, a smile on her face and a jersey in her hands. “Jacob is a lucky man. Tell him I’m glad he finally had luck with the mistletoe, but don’t let Coach Grumpy Pants over there hear me say that. All I need is another lesson in the penalty box. Anyway,” she smirked as she handed me the jersey. “This is yours. And Jacob is over there with his little one.” She pointed to the far corner of the ice where Josie and a blonde woman with a sleek shoulder-length cut guided the little girl on the ice.

“Thank you,” I murmured, eyes on my man as I took off my jacket and slipped on his jersey. When I neared them, I overheard Josie as she giggled.

“See! I told you my present was the best! One day, I’m going to be just like you, Daddy. Or maybe Miss Corey. I think I’d rather score goals than block them.”

Jacob laughed as he scooped her up, adorable in her mini Jacob Hale jersey and skates. Red hair in the cutest braids and a huge smile on her face. Then he spotted me and whispered something in her ear. Josie nodded.

They skated over and I couldn’t help but smile.

“JoJo!”

“Hi Miss Sloan!” She looked at Jacob who nodded. “Daddy said you're his new girlfriend and since I already know you, that I can be your new special friend, too. But I told him that was silly because you were my friend first. And he gets to have you as his new special girlfriend. And then, he asked if that was okay.”

“And what did you say, JoJo?”

“I asked if that meant we could play here, too, and not just with Hannah when we’re at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. He said yes! But if you sleep over, can we do hot cocoa even in the summer?”

Jacob laughed. “Let's take things a little slow, JoJo. Maybe Sloan doesn't like sleepovers.”

“But Daddy, she sings all the Frozen songs by heart. And Encanto.”

“We don’t talk about Bruno, JoJo. Wait, aren’t you the one who told me I could have whatever I wanted? I think that would be amazing. I happen to love sleepovers. Snowed in or otherwise.”

Josie wiggled out of his arms, wanting to skate more as more kiddos and families filled the ice. Jacob slid to a stop next to me. “So, you’d like to sleep over again, huh?”

I nodded. “But only if you want to-”

He kissed me, in front of everyone. No faking or pucking around in sight.

Eden

I had a stalker. But for one night, I wanted to forget the texts, the flowers and everything that went bump in the night.

A haunted house charity event put on by the Montreal Triumph fit the bill. Halloween, costumes, masked men. Hockey players. A girl could indulge in the fantasy that everything was right in the world. For one fun, scary night.

Little did I know what I was getting myself into.

Cole

Leaving the team I’d thought I’d retire on was the last thing I expected. But a season ending injury and the estranged dad I hadn’t talked to inters flipped everything I thought I knew on its head.

Until I saw her. Pink hair, running from me, and my world made sense. Because she was mine.

Warning. The players from the. Montreal Triumph don’t always play by the rules.

It’s a whole new era.

Possessive.

Obsession.

MINE.

Tropes: Stepbrother/sister, age gap, masked moments hockey romance.
