Fake-dating my bad-boy goalie ex to save my rink should be simple, until the sweet single dad beneath his rough edges has me believing in a second chance I vowed I’d never give.
He’s my brother’s off-limits best friend. All penalties. All bad press.
The ex I am determined to never let in again.
Then he gets benched. Sent home for a clean reset.
And the only ice he can use is mine.
My youth program is one bill from closing.
His sponsor offers funding with strings.
I fake date him to keep the doors open.
He gets redemption and a second chance on the team.
We make rules. We call it business. Except he shows up early.
He fixes what’s broken. He reads bedtime stories, ties tiny skates.
He melts my heart with a gentle confession and steadfast protection. But when the news breaks of our charade, choosing the rink means losing the only man who ever made my winter feel like spring.
