Max

I’d never missed a beat when it came to women and hockey.
But all my usuals fell by the wayside that night.

I never intended to seduce Hailey Rogers, my best friend’s off-limits sister.
Hey, that was a bro-code violation.

But she was sizzling perfection, so I pulled her body in and took her—and her V-card.

Then I ran…
and Hailey’s plaintive question as the door slammed shut echoed in me for years: “Max?”

Hailey

Max Decker is back.

Now an NHL star, he’s every bit the man I remember—
infuriatingly charming, handsome, and with a chiseled body that sets my world on fire.

Max needs a fake fiancée to seal a multi-million-dollar deal.
I’m still resentful, but I’ll play pretend because this is the lifeline to save my parents from losing their home.

Our charade, though, sparks old flames, desires and jealousies.
And doubt. I couldn’t bear being destroyed again.

So I’m waiting to see Max’s choice: his deal or us.

I should probably tell him at this point that I'm pregnant.
