About this book

When a cocky NHL-bound goalie needs academic help and reputation rehabilitation, he strikes a deal with his roommate—a hockey-hating student who desperately needs a fake boyfriend for her own reasons. What begins as a calculated arrangement of tutoring sessions and public hand-holding quickly becomes dangerously real as they discover the chemistry simmering beneath their opposition. Caught between the rules they've set and the truth neither of them can ignore, they'll have to decide what they're willing to risk when a fake relationship starts feeling like the only honest thing in their lives. This is a delicious opposites-attract romance full of soft moments, witty banter, and the kind of tension that makes fake dating schemes absolutely irresistible.

Mix indie pop sass with sensual R&B, slow-burn acoustic moments, and high-energy anthems. Think confident vocals over moody production, late-night vulnerability, and the electric buzz of pretend becoming real.”
