Jacques: I'm a single father, and I've had all the change I can handle: Retirement from the sport I love, a crazy ex-wife in prison, and five kids who need me more than ever. I don't have time for a relationship, let alone one with the interfering mother of the best player on the hockey team I'm coaching. She’s annoying as hell, but she’s also equally on my mind. Serenity: I'm a hockey mom and proud of it. I'm also the over-protective mother of a talented daughter hell-bent on playing with the boys. I'm determined that my daughter gets a shot at her dream despite her gender, even if it means butting heads with the team's rigid and hot AF coach. I have no intention in falling for this brooding man with a houseful of children, but sometimes life doesn't stick to the plan. We wanted to blame it on the eggnog, but there's no denying our chemistry. Can two single parents find love and healing in the magic of a Garland Grove Christmas, or will our complicated lives ruin the best thing that's ever happened to us? Garland Grove is the creation of four friends and USA Today bestsellers: Jami Davenport, Kat Mizera, Kelly Jamieson, and Tess Thompson. Journey with us to the quaint town of Garland Grove set in the mountains of British Columbia as our characters find true love when they're least expecting it.
Jacques, a retired hockey player turned coach, finds his carefully managed life disrupted by the determined mother of one of his star players. Jacques is a single father struggling with retirement and his ex-wife's legal troubles, focused entirely on his five children and coaching the Seattle Sockeyes. He has no room for romance, especially not with Serenity, the fiercely protective mother of a talented young player. Despite her interference and their clashing personalities, he finds himself increasingly drawn to her. Serenity is equally resistant to falling for the brooding coach, prioritizing her daughter's hockey dreams above all else. Their complicated lives and undeniable chemistry create a holiday season challenge in the quaint town of Garland Grove.
The premise sets up a classic enemies-to-lovers dynamic within a holiday romance framework, focusing on the challenges faced by single parents. The collaborative nature of the Garland Grove series suggests a blend of established writing styles aimed at delivering heartwarming and engaging contemporary romance. Readers can anticipate themes of overcoming personal obstacles and finding unexpected love during the Christmas season. The inclusion of sports elements, specifically hockey, adds a unique layer to the romantic narrative.
