Description
Reid
No one knows why I transferred mid-season and if I have my way, that’s how it’ll stay. My only priority is to dominate on the ice and solidify my spot on Seattle’s roster in the pros. As for any 'extracurriculars'? I'd rather take a puck to the face.
Everything is on track until my ex-girlfriend resurfaces, hell-bent on getting me to forgive the unforgivable. I tell her I've moved on, sparking rumors around campus about my love life… one that doesn’t exist.
Just when my excuse is about to backfire, fate delivers the perfect solution. Chloe is every bit as committed to her future as I am, and equally disinterested in dating. But the more time we spend together, the more my defenses start to crumble, and I catch myself noticing things I shouldn't—like how tempting she looks in my jersey.
Before I know it, we've gone off script completely, and I'm not sure either of us is faking it anymore.
Chloe
My plan for senior year is simple: ace the Dental Acceptance Test, graduate with honors, and get into my dream school in New York. Easier said than done with an exhausting course load, waitressing full-time, and roommates who think every day is Spring Break. I barely have time to think, let alone date.
Enter grumpy, closed-off Reid Holloway. After a case of mistaken identity, we strike a deal: play along as his new girlfriend and I get a quiet place to concentrate on all my work while he gets a buffer from all the unwanted attention.
There's just one teeny, tiny catch: Reid is six feet, four inches of toned perfection, and our chemistry is anything but pretend. Before long, we've broken every rule we made. But with graduation looming, our arrangement has an expiration date—and the clock is ticking.
