He's the team's hotshot defenseman, a trust fund a-hole and my brother's least favorite teammate…and now he’s my fake boyfriend.

I need tuition money fast. A school-wide couples contest could be my saving grace, If I wasn't single as hell. My siblings insist on setting me up with someone to play the part of my boyfriend, only they come back with the one guy I hoped to avoid.

Blake Taylor is confident, flirty, and athletic—everything that I’m not. I know he can never be mine, so ignoring him is easy…until he saves me from a dangerous fight. This encounter brings out a side of him I’ve never noticed before, and with every televised date, my determination to shut him out weakens.

Fiercely protective, gentle, and kind, Blake shows me I can trust him, even when the shadows of my past make it feel impossible. But if I want to get my degree and become a teacher, I can't let myself get distracted by him.

This relationship was supposed to be fake, but with every stolen glance and absentminded touch I can’t help but think…

Maybe the player’s been waiting for me all along
