What’s a girl to do when her longtime hockey crush offers her a marriage of convenience?
Say YES. Obviously.

I’ve spent three years lusting after Grammercy Graves on my (supposedly anonymous) hockey romance podcast—breaking down his stats, his plays, that panty-melting Cajun accent...

The entire internet knows he’s my dream guy. What they don’t know? I’m a broke single mom who just lost her job—and the health insurance my daughter needs.

When Grammercy finds me crying in a supply closet at a team party, he offers the wildest solution:
Fake marriage. Real benefits. One year.
No strings. No S-E-X. Just shared coverage and a room with my name on it.

But he’s so good with my daughter. So generous, so funny, so kind.
And when it’s just the two of us? He treats me like I’m someone special.

Like I’m his.

Soon, every kiss for the cameras turns into a kiss we can’t stop, and it’s getting harder and harder to remember this is all pretend.

There’s just one secret that could ruin it all—my podcast, the one that proves I wasn’t telling the whole story when we first “met.”

When he finds out, will he walk away…
Or make my wildest fangirl fantasies come true?
