About This Book
Eli needs a fake boyfriend to save his career. André needs cash to save his family home. A simple holiday transaction... what could possibly go wrong?
Defenseman, Eli Bergeron's pro hockey career is in the slush. After a shoulder injury compounded with a messy public scandal slides him away from his NHL dreams, he needs to look locker room stable for the scouts, and he needs it stat. His solution: hire a boyfriend for the holidays. It's a business deal. No feelings, no problem.
Swamp tour guide André Thibodeaux has a million-dollar smile and about ten bucks to his name. Thanks to a loan shark and his grandma's gambling habit, his family's home is about to be sunk. So when a grumpy, stupidly hot hockey player offers him a pile of cash to play a part? André can certainly score some Christmas cheer. He has to.
But their simple contract gets complicated fast. André's genuine Cajun charm gets under Eli's skin in a way no one ever has, and the quiet way Eli has his back feels dangerously real.
One freak Louisiana storm, one flooded road, and one very small honeymoon B&B with only one bed… and their entire charade relationship combusts. Now, the only thing fake is pretending their hearts aren't on the line. But Eli is keeping a secret that could shatter André's trust, and André's pride might just be the one thing he can't afford to lose.
Holiday Face-Off is a sensual, fade-to-black standalone MM holiday romance in the Bayou Boys world. It's packed with your favorite tropes, including a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, fake dating, forced proximity, only one bed, and a hard-won happily ever after. It is the first book in the Rougarous Hockey series.
