About this book
When Britta's hockey player colleagues make a desperate plea on New Year's Eve, she finds herself saying "I do" to Sumner—a brooding defenseman with soulful eyes and a visa problem that's running out of time. What starts as a practical marriage of convenience becomes deliciously complicated when their fake arrangement requires them to actually live like a couple, and Britta discovers that her soft spot for Sumner runs far deeper than she'd like to admit. Sumner's been quietly in love with her all along, but Britta has always kept her guard up when it comes to hockey boys—so now they're stuck in this wild year of pretending to be married while navigating the real feelings brewing underneath. It's a steamy, heartfelt ride full of Bailey's signature humor and heat that will leave you rooting for these two to make their fake marriage all too real.
