Empty Net

I have two goals this season:

1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.

2. Don't fall for my fake fiancée.

When Lilah Maddison's mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she's not interested in, she blurts out that she's already seeing someone. The problem? She's single.

So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we're no longer just dating—we're engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.

She's funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we're playing a dangerous game, yet I can't stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn't be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.

It's my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can't win . . . and I might not want to.
