He’s hockey royalty. She’s press with a grudge. Faking a relationship might just ruin them both—for real.

Kenzie Morales built her journalism career on biting commentary and brutal honesty. So when her sarcastic post-game interview with hockey star Bodie Keller goes viral for all the wrong reasons, her editor gives her two choices: apologize… or spin it into a PR miracle.

Now she’s ‘dating’ Midland Vipers golden boy Bodie Keller in the public eye. He’s infuriatingly charming, maddeningly sincere—and her polar opposite. But the more time they spend together in carefully staged photo ops, late-night strategy meetings, and one bed (thanks to a travel mix-up), the more lines blur between fake and something dangerously real.

Bodie’s skating under the weight of a legacy he never asked for. Kenzie’s used to choosing survival over softness. Falling in love was never part of the agreement. But in the game of love and reputation, someone’s about to break the rules.

A laugh-out-loud hockey romantic comedy packed with slow-burn chemistry, fake dating chaos, media drama, and emotionally charged closed-door moments. Perfect for fans of Helena Hunting, Lynn Painter, and anyone who loves a rivalry turned real.
