A Lie for a Lie

When a burnt-out hockey captain escapes to Alaska for anonymity, he meets a stunning woman who has no idea he's famous—and suddenly his plan for solitude transforms into an unforgettable month of passion and unexpected domestic bliss. But when a family emergency yanks him away without a proper goodbye, he's left with no way to contact her and a secret that could have changed everything. A year later, fate orchestrates a second chance encounter, except now both of them are hiding truths that could either shatter what they've rebuilt or become the catalyst for something real. This hilarious, steamy second-chance romance proves that sometimes the best connections happen when you're brave enough to be your authentic self—lies and all.
