Skates, Secrets & Baby Kicks
Gracie Sage Swan has spent her whole life avoiding chaos.
At just twenty-four, she owns the most loved bakery in the city, lives in a cozy house with her little sister and dog, and stays far away from the drama surrounding her twin brother's famous hockey team.
Especially Holden Lopez.
Cold. Arrogant. Untouchable.
Captain of Team USA.
And Freddie Swan's best friend.
Holden is everything Gracie knows to avoid - a heartbreak waiting to happen wrapped in broad shoulders, dark eyes, and a dangerous smile.
But after one reckless night celebrating a championship win, their worlds collide in a way neither of them can undo.
Four months later, Gracie discovers the truth:
she's pregnant.
Terrified of losing everything, Gracie struggles to tell the father - only for Holden to accuse her of trapping him and Freddie to nearly destroy their friendship with one punch that shakes the entire team.
Now trapped between public scandals, family loyalty, and feelings neither of them wanted, Gracie and Holden are forced into each other's lives whether they like it or not.
But somewhere between late-night cravings, stolen glances across the rink, protective brothers, chaotic teammates, and the tiny heartbeat that changes everything...
the ice around Holden Lopez begins to melt.
And for the first time in his life, the captain who feared love might finally be ready to fight for it.
