Bargaining for a fake relationship was never part of the plan.

Bekah Reynolds knows what she wants. And what she doesn’t. When the captain of her university’s hockey team asks her out, she turns him down, barely standing to be around him but when her editor makes it clear he won’t give her a column unless she makes herself invaluable, she sees opportunity.

Evan Fitzpatrick has his eyes set on one thing and one thing only—the NHL. It is all he has ever wanted, but when the team starts tanking under his leadership and his coach starts to question his ability to commit, he starts to wonder if he really has what it takes. When Bekah comes to him with a plan—she’ll fake being his girlfriend to prove he can commit to his coach if he agrees to do the athletic profile he has notoriously refused to do—how can he say no?

The plan is foolproof, but when feelings that have always been there become harder to ignore. Can they really say it’s still fake?
