I’ve hated the hockey player for years. But when I need a guy to pretend I'm in love with, he’s the perfect choice.
Sebastian Lawrence: Bookish, athletic, and'''as much as I hate to admit it—hot, he’s most girls’ dream come true. But I grew up with him, and I can’t stand the arrogant, entitled hotshot he’s become.
Me: As an English major with PhD ambitions, I live my life buried in books. So what if my dedication to academics means I rarely date? There are more important things in my life than men.
But try getting my old-fashioned family to understand that. They’ve been on my case about my perpetual singleness, and I’m tired of it. Maybe the right date to an upcoming family wedding will get them off my back …
Sebastian is superficially impressive enough to wow my family, and there’s zero chance of real feelings developing from this fake relationship.
Not even if we do share the same taste in books and have surprisingly insightful and interesting conversations.
Not even if our banter is starting to become fun and addictive.
Not even if the kisses he gives me for show start to take my breath away … or if we start spending time together even when no one’s watching … or if he starts buying us copies of the same book to read together …
Uh oh. I might be falling in love with the guy I’m supposed to hate.
In the Net is a full-length hockey romance novel with plenty of steam, no cheating, lots of banter, and a guaranteed HEA ending!
