Just Playing for Keeps


Overview

""A grumpy/sunshine fake dating hockey romance from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely! Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arena's jumbotron? Everyone did. But I lived it. Including the moment when Lake Axelrod, the team's broody, tattooed right winger, swooped in on skates to rescue me from public humiliation. Even more surprising? When the famously grumpy (and ridiculously sexy) hockey star insists on being my fake boyfriend for my sister's high-profile wedding. It's the perfect plan. His family stops pressuring him to settle down, and I'll get the ultimate revenge, since my ex is the best man. Bonus - I might even salvage my professional reputation. We need rules though. 1. To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe we're a real couple. 2. That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required. 3. When it ends, we walk away. But the intensity in Lake's eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if he's pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room. Soon, he isn't just playing the protective boyfriend--he's the only one who truly sees me. If I'm not careful, I'm going to break the most important rule of all: don't fall for your fake date. This is Lake and Remy's romance. Tropes include: grumpy/sunshine hockey romance, fake dating, workplace romance, best friend's brother, obsessed hero""
