title: A Madrona Island Christmas
author: Davenport, Jami
description: This anthology is comprised of two previously published novellas which feature Blake and Sarah. Love at First Snow Four years ago on Christmas Eve, NHL hockey player Blake Daniels lost his entire family in a float plane crash. Every Christmas Eve he mourns his losses by returning to the family vacation home in Sunset Harbor, Washington, his family's destination that fateful night. Only this year he's also mourning the loss of his hockey career and wondering what's left to live for. When he finds a kitten starving and half frozen in a foot of snow, he rushes the tiny thing to the local animal hospital. Still reeling from the unexpected loss of her father on Christmas Eve two years ago, Dr. Sarah Whitney opens the door to her clinic and finds a rough and tough professional athlete holding a minuscule kitten in his big hands. Only a miracle can save the frozen creature and only a miracle can heal the devastating losses suffered by both Sarah and Blake. But Christmas is the time for healing and miracles if only you believe and give love a chance. Hearts on Ice Drawn together by tragedy and broken apart by practicality, can two lost souls find each other again during a magical holiday season? Blake and Sarah have been separated by distance and careers. A small-town veterinarian, Sarah will never leave her island home, while Blake can’t imagine his life without hockey, and there’s no hockey on Madrona Island. Not seeing a solution to their long-distance relationship, Sarah breaks it off with Blake. Months later Blake is injured on a hockey game. He returns to heal and can’t resist connecting with Sarah, but in order to have a life together one of them has to give up their dream. Will love find a solution or will their relationship suffer a fatal blow?
