One fake relationship. Two total opposites. And a blizzard that makes pretending way too real.

Grumpy hockey enforcer Jack Carter just got suspended for blowing up at the wrong person: Owen Lane, the team’s too-sweet nutritionist who labels snacks with smiley stickers. Now the Cold Pines Kodiaks' PR team has a wild solution—fake date each other to save Jack’s reputation.

Owen agrees to keep the peace. Jack agrees because… he’s tired of being the villain. But faking affection in front of cameras is one thing. Getting snowed in at the team retreat with only one bed? That’s when things get dangerous—for their hearts and their carefully drawn lines.

Tension turns into late-night banter. Banter turns into something they don’t want to fake anymore. But when the spotlight returns, will their fragile connection survive off the ice?

A grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, fake dating M/M hockey romcom with emotional slow burn and three intimate moments that change everything.
