HOME ICE

Paige Calhoun has her hands full with four teenage daughters who are beyond boy crazy. Throw crushes on hockey players into the mix, and they’re almost too much to handle.

Elaine Sutter is finally ready to forgive her ex-husband for his past transgressions. So when she discovers his online dating profile, she sets up a secret meeting. Her only goal this holiday season is to stuff Jim’s stocking with a Santa-sized dose of forgiveness and a sleigh full of love.
