Totally fake marriage. Very real feelings. When my hockey teammate, the recently widowed Tanner Chance, loses his job, he and his four kids are left with no medical coverage.
So I suggest a wild idea: get married and put his family on my company’s insurance plan. It’s supposed to be a marriage on paper only. But this being a small town, our nuptials accidentally go public.
Now, we have to play house in order to make this scheme believable.
Suddenly, I’m trading my swanky highrise for a cramped split-level and refereeing sibling squabbles while attempting to make a meatloaf. Goodbye bottomless mimosas. Hello bottomless piles of laundry.
I’m also sharing a bed with my closest friend, the one guy I promised myself I’d never cross a line with…and using all my willpower to keep that promise.
The more time I spend married to Tanner, the harder it is to remember what’s fake. Because every time he smiles at me, every time he calls me his husband, it feels a little too real.
If our ruse is exposed, I could lose not just my career, but the man and family I never knew I wanted.
