The perfect defense against my lying, manipulative ex? Fake date the enforcer for the Riverside U hockey team.
It’s the least Cade Price can do after I helped him save face when he caught his girlfriend playing tonsil hockey with another guy.
Convincing him to be my pretend boyfriend doesn’t take much—his cheating ex is already trying to crawl back into his life—and he’s desperate to prove he’s moved on.
Our arrangement is simple; no strings, no feelings. But he’s everything I didn’t expect: warm, fiercely protective, and far too easy to fall for.
Cade suggests we upgrade our fake relationship to one with benefits, but every kiss and touch feels more real than it should.
Now I’m starting to wonder if the only people we’re fooling is ourselves.
When the game ends, will Cade prove he’s the real deal—or leave me blindsided?
