About JUST PLAYING FOR KEEPS (Coming 6/3/2026):
Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arenaโs jumbotron?
Everyone did. But Iย livedย it. Including the moment when Lake Axelrod, the teamโs 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 sisterโs high-profile wedding.
Itโs the perfect plan. His family stops pressuring him to settle down, and Iโll get the ultimate revenge, since my ex is the best man. Bonus โ I might even salvage my professional reputation.
We need rules though.
- To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe weโre a real couple.
- That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required.
- When it ends, we walk away.
But the intensity in Lakeโs eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if heโs pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room.
Soon, he isnโt just playing the protective boyfriendโheโs the only one who truly sees me.
If Iโm not careful, Iโm going to break the most important rule of all:ย donโt fall for your fake date.
