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.
