A Shot At More Than Friends
(2026)(The third book in the Hockey House Misfits series)
A novel by Susie Heart
Fake dating my best friend was supposed to launch my career. Falling for him wasn't part of the game plan.
Jonah Wilde was my high school best friend and gaming partner.
Then he left on a hockey scholarship.
When we reunite years later, I know better than to fall for that stupid grin again.
Then we qualify for a major gaming competition and discover the next round is for couples.
Suddenly, I have a fake boyfriend, a four-week deadline, and plenty of reasons not to make this real.
Except Jonah knows my favorite snacks.
He shows up when my career gets messy.
Then a snowstorm traps us together, and he kisses me when no one is watching.
Against my better judgment, I fall for him.
But just when I start believing, Jonah retreats behind hockey like he always does when things get complicated.
And when the competition ends, so does our agreement.
Now I have to decide if choosing Jonah again means repeating my biggest mistake… or finally fixing it.
Sweet enough to make you sigh, and clean enough to share with your grandma! No steamy scenes, no salty language, just sweet romance.
Genre: Young Adult Romance
