Confession – I’ve been secretly fake dating my hockey-playing best friend.
I went to his house for dinner and walked straight into a matchmaking trap!
Miller’s teenage siblings have decided he’s been off the dating market long enough raising them, so it’s time for him to get back out there. And as his childhood best friend, they appoint me to “practice date” him.
Even though it’s walking a dangerous line, the forbidden goalie with the sexy smirk supported me when an injury shattered my own hockey dreams, so I say yes.
To writing his profile. Taking photos of him. Going on “trial” dates.
Huge mistake.
Looking at my best friend through a new lens becomes pure torture.
I can’t stop imagining his talented hands gripping my hips, his tempting mouth coasting across my skin.
Until a desperate kiss late one night at the rink changes everything.
But I’m a sports broadcaster trying to break barriers in a male-dominated industry. I don’t have time for romance, especially since I cover his team now.
So we make a new deal: a temporary arrangement to get it out of our systems.
Only the way Miller touches me after dark suggests he’s playing to win, and has been for years. And I want more.
But can I risk the one relationship I can’t live without?
This is Miller and Anna’s romance. Tropes include: hockey romance, single guardian, childhood best friends to lovers, it’s always been you, secret pining, practice dates and fake dating, forced proximity, workplace romance, he has a dog.

The Great War is no place to start a feud with a fellow officer. Lieutenant Hart did – and came to regret it.
The War to End All Wars is no place for illicit lust. Captain Thorn inspired it.
Beginning of the 20th century Britain was no place for homosexual love. They couldn’t resist it.
To find love on the fields of the Western front – where each step promises death and discovery carries severe consequences – is as difficult as nurturing a delicate flower to bloom on those godforsaken fields. Two officers will learn how to do it, but they have to let go of their enmity first.
Gavin “Ghost” Danner smiled through work that made other men flinch. The former SEAL handled every threat with a fuse for the Black Crowns MC. Until Tamsin Bellamy glared at him, and he decided she was his.
Tamsin was used to being underestimated, so she was stunned when the massive biker respected her command after a fireworks display went horribly wrong. Then inventory discrepancies were discovered, and anyone putting Tamsin in the blast radius was going to pay a steep price.

Josh Hurst was supposed to be my forever. I gave him my heart. He broke it without flinching. So, I did what any self-respecting, heart-shattered girl would do—I declared war.
Our revenge game? Legendary.
Until I left for college and swore I’d never look back.
But life doesn’t care about vows made in the dark.
When my father dies unexpectedly, I’m dragged back to the hometown I outgrew, handed guardianship of my grieving kid brother, and forced to take over my father’s struggling veterinary clinic.
And waiting for me—like karma with a smirk—is Josh.
Not as a memory.
Not as a ghost.
But as my new business partner.
Avoiding him? Impossible.
Forgetting what we were? Laughable.
He still looks at me like I’m his. Like we’re a story paused instead of over. Like one spark is all it would take.
And God help me, the spark is still there.
But we don’t do soft. We don’t do safe.
We do oil and fire. War and wreckage.
Whatever we once were—Whatever we still could be—We’re enemies.

💛Review💛 Not only is Brooks the president’s son but that is also the future that he is facing. He and Daphne were together in the past until her family almost destroyed his family and there was no recovering from that. Since then, they are enemies however with the time approaching that he must choose a Fawn he knows if he claims Daphne he can get his revenge and he isn’t about to let anyone else claim her.
Daphne is a princess who not only has a past with Brooks but is best friends with his sister as well. There is one big obstacle standing between them and that is the actions of her father and the devastating secret she hasn’t shared. Being claimed by Brooks is not only a nightmare but a dream come true however what she does know is that she isn’t about to give in without a fight.
The flaws of these two characters only make them more captivating and the fact that they are on opposite sides only makes the story that much more compelling. The interactions between them entertaining, the heat intense and the surprises that keep coming leave you edge as they two well matched characters know exactly what the other needs.
