He's the new hockey team captain
My unexpected roommate
And suddenly, my pretend fiancé


Rick Mitchell is the city's newest favorite son. A hockey sensation, captain of the team, and an intense former marine.
He's the grumpy athlete where I'm the optimistic PR girl.
Cautious where I take life head-on.
He's faced battles overseas.
I'm battling memories of a deceitful ex.
The only thing we share? A love for the game and a mutual distaste for my traitorous ex-boyfriend, who's now captaining our rival team.
So when a housing mix-up puts us together under the same roof, tensions rise.
And as my ex re-enters the scene, Rick concocts a scheme: I'll pose as his fiancée during a trip back home, to make my ex seethe with jealousy.
All I need to do is play my part, be the fake fiancée, and stay by his side.
But proximity results in complexity, and when the line between make-believe and reality starts to blur it elicits feelings I didn't know existed.
As days meld into nights, I find myself hoping that our charade is more reality than ruse.
With emotions skating close to the edge and old wounds threatening to resurface, I'm torn.
I swore off men - especially the possessive brooding types like Rick. There's no way I can fall for him, right? Right?
