About This Book

He's her PR nightmare. She's his forbidden fantasy. Falling in love was never part of the game.

Tank Phillips is used to scoring—on and off the ice. But after a scandalous night with two puck bunnies makes headlines, the cocky star of the Stingrays is benched in more ways than one. His only shot at salvaging his career? A squeaky-clean image makeover…starting with a fake girlfriend.

Enter McKenna Bailey—nerdy, no-nonsense, and painfully new at her job as the Stingrays' social media manager. Tasked with taming Tank's wild reputation, she'd rather be buried in data analytics than babysitting the team's notorious playboy. He calls her mouse, barely remembers her name, and flashes that infuriating grin like he owns the world. But the more time they spend together faking a romance, the more the chemistry between them feels dangerously real.

McKenna has her own secret—one that could blow everything she's the estranged daughter of Coach Fields. And when the truth comes out, Daddy Dearest gives Tank a hard warning—stay away from my little girl.

But Tank's never been one to play by the rules…especially when the one thing he wants most is finally within reach.

Hero: Zac "Tank" Phillips
