She’s playing it safe. He’s playing for keeps.

Hannah Clarke’s world crumbles when her fiancé announces their breakup in a headline declaring himself Hockey’s Most Eligible Bachelor. Now, she’s picking up the pieces with three simple rules: no distractions, no love, and absolutely no hockey players.

But a kiss at All-Star Weekend changes everything.

Not just any kiss. One with Ryan Logan, her best friend and her ex’s rival.

It wasn’t supposed to happen, let alone mean anything. But it does. And when Hannah needs a fake boyfriend to prove she’s moved on, Ryan steps in without hesitation. Even if it means breaking all her rules, she can’t help but take a chance.

What starts as a harmless ruse quickly feels all too real. Every touch lingers, every glance says what words can’t, and every practice date leaves her wanting more.

Falling wasn’t part of the plan. But Ryan is determined to prove he’s worth the leap. And Hannah is starting to wonder if the love she’s been running from has been right in front of her all along.
