The team's captain doesn't do feelings, especially not for his fake wife.
Beck Tate doesn't care about hockey, his looming retirement, or the mess his ex-wife left behind. His eyes are only for his daughter Rosie. When he's about to lose her, his lawyers say he needs one thing he's never wanted: a wife. But Beck doesn't let people in, especially not pretty women who could thaw his icy heart.
Jessa Laramie is drowning. Between her grandmother's memory care and the bills that keep stacking up, she's running on fumes and looking for a third job. When the Havoc's stone-faced captain offers her a paycheck to wear his ring and play house, she knows it's crazy. She also knows she can't afford to say no.
So they make a pact. She'll move in, wear his ring, and convince a judge they're in love. No feelings, no complications. They’ll simply feign marital bliss for one year.
Beck knows this isn't real. Jessa knows he'll never let her in. But the closer they get to convincing everyone else, the harder it is to remember they're faking it.
Tropes: sports romance, marriage of convenience, single dad, grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, he falls first, slow burn, spicy romance
Genre: Romance
