Publisher's summary
A grumpy deputy struggling to find his Christmas spirit after a tragic loss, a new school teacher trying to fit in, and an adorable puppy that brings them together.
Mark Phillips has no intentions of celebrating Christmas ever again. Not after the tragedy that ruined his family forever. His chip on his shoulder suits him just fine, and makes everyone in town know better than to cross him. That is, until he has a run-in with the new teacher in town and her adorable pup. She seems determined to bring sunshine into his life, whether he wants it or not.
Christie Wilcox’s having a hard time fitting in at her new job, not to mention the small town she moved to. To help cure her loneliness, she gets a puppy as an early Christmas gift for herself. He might be the cutest thing she’s ever seen, but he seems determined to embarrass her all over town. The worst, is when her golden retriever runs smack into the grumpy deputy everyone’s told her to avoid. But something about him makes her want to get past his prickly demeanor to see what lies beneath.
Will Mark stop punishing everyone else for his heartbreak? Will Christie help Mark find his Christmas cheer again? And will they both find the love they were never looking for just in time for the holidays?
***A Gift for Her Grumpy Deputy is book six in the Love in Sweet Bloom romance series.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world. But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to “bond” during off-season cross-training. Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her.

Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.
