Christmas Knot in the Penalty Box: Small Town Omegaverse Reverse Harem Hockey Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271213175)

Three men. One bar on the brink. A holiday week that changes everything.

Roxy Vale keeps The Penalty Box alive with grit, lists, and late nights. She doesn't do packs. She does payroll, kegs, and "keeping things running"-until anonymous complaints and a crooked county fixer target her license the week before Christmas. When sabotage hits in the shadows, help arrives where it has always stood: Aiden, her patient, steady door man; Nick, the brewer with calm hands and a plan; and Luca, the contractor who always fixes one more thing after close.

Under twinkle lights and falling snow, they build a shield: safety checks, receipts, a loft-turned-refuge, and a town that refuses to let its heart shut down. Roxy's rules are simple-her pace, her terms, no marks without a clear morning "yes." Their answer is simple: yes, boss.

Expect a week-before-Christmas save-the-business sprint, patient protector energy, enemies-to-lovers snap that softens, and a why-choose bond that feels like coming home. When state oversight collides with small-town stubborn, winning feels good-and so does the nest waiting at the top of the stairs.

Come home to Puckridge, where the lights are warm, the heat is real, and love says yes-together.
