Cold Case: A Spicy Fake-Dating College Hockey Romance
The deal was simple. Fake the romance. Keep it professional. Walk away clean.
Nobody said anything about catching feelings.
He is the loudest player on the ice and the biggest target off it. When a leaked video threatens his scholarship and his team's championship season, he needs a believable girlfriend to clean up his image.
She is a journalism student chasing the story that will make her career, and he just offered her an all-access pass to the most exclusive locker room on campus. All she has to do is pretend to be in love with him.
He falls first. He falls loud. He falls the way he does everything, without a backup plan and without apology.
She falls slower. She falls like a woman who knows this is the worst possible idea and chooses it anyway.
When the arrangement ends, neither of them walks away. They just stop pretending in public and start hiding in private. And the secret is harder to keep than the lie ever was.
