My ex agreed to fake date me to save my hockey career. Now I’m renovating her apartment… and falling for her for real. The last time Josie Calloway trusted me, I gave her every reason not to. When my franchise decides my reputation needs fixing, asking my ex-girlfriend to fake date me was risky. In my defense, I was desperate. I need this town to see more than the headlines. And she needs the apartment above her bookstore renovated. So we make rules and call it temporary. Now I see her every day. Watch her build a life that doesn’t include me. And for the first time, I want something more than hockey. I want her. Then photographs from my old life resurface. A developer threatens her bookstore. Rumors spread that my hockey franchise is behind it. Josie thinks I betrayed her. No matter how badly I want to fix this, she holds the one thing I can’t control – Whether I’ve already lost my shot with her for good. Tropes: Fake Dating, Small-Town, Second Chance, Hockey, Forced Proximity, Fresh Start, He Falls First, Reformed Bad Boy, Slow Burn. This is a sweet, no spice, kisses only romance.
