"Is your ego naturally that size, or do you inflate it before games?" I ask the furious hockey player towering over me. Plot twist: Hours later, I'm holding his hand and calling him "babe" in front of his ex. College is weird.
I'm an aspiring sports photographer who knows exactly three things about hockey: it's cold, it's violent, and it's played by overgrown man-children who think they're God's gift to frozen water.
So naturally, when I accidentally cause the university's star player to crash into the boards during my first assignment, I expect him to be a complete jerk about it.
I do not expect Ethan—with his stupid perfect jaw and annoyingly excellent reflexes—to proposition me in the middle of a Halloween party.
His offer? Pretend to be his girlfriend to keep his ex at bay and salvage his reputation with NHL scouts. In exchange, he'll get me exclusive access to the team and an interview with my dream magazine that could launch my career.
Simple, right? Except nothing about Ethan is simple. Not the way he explains hockey strategy with genuine passion. Not how he defends me to his overbearing father. And definitely not the way our fake kisses keep feeling suspiciously real.
But I'm not falling for a hockey player. I have a career to build, bills to pay, and a heart to protect. Even if his smile makes me forget why I hated him in the first place.
Even if this might be the worst best idea I've ever had.
