The Save
A Fake Dating, Brother’s Best Friend College Hockey Romance
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ / 5
My brother’s best friend sat down across from me in the library and put a handwritten contract on the table.
Obviously I read it.
The deal was simple. I tutor Cole Mercer through Constitutional Law. He plays my devoted boyfriend for four days at Thanksgiving.
One grandmother. One ex who married someone else. One hotel room with one bed, neither of us mentioned.
No feelings. He initialed the clause himself.
What we didn’t write down was that Cole Mercer is nothing like his reputation. Four days with him is enough to ruin every rule I ever made.
The contract expired. He didn’t get the memo. Neither did I.
