A fake dating contract was never supposed to become real.

Emotionally addictive hockey romance with sharp banter, fake dating tension, and one defenseman who breaks every rule.

FAKE DATING NEVER STAYS FAKE.

A Fake Dating, Brother’s Best Friend College Hockey Romance

He’s my brother’s best friend.
And the one person I was never supposed to want.

My brother’s best friend sat down across from me in the library and put a handwritten contract on the table.

The deal was simple. I tutor Cole Mercer through Constitutional Law. He plays my devoted boyfriend for one family weekend.

No feelings. No complications. No reason for the campus golden boy to look at me like the rules were already broken.

Fake dating.

Brother’s best friend.

Slow burn tension.

Sharp banter.

One hockey star who never should have touched her.
