Publisher's Synopsis
Jayden "Killer" Kelly, the Steelhawks' toughest defenseman, looks forward to spending the offseason recovering from the playoffs and preparing for next season's grind. But he soon finds himself with his hands full at his family's restaurant. His dad is on the verge of a burnout, the pub is teetering on the financial brink, and the new bartender is his younger sister's gorgeous BFF - definitely distracting, but definitely off-limits.
A decade ago, Caitlyn Mackenzie had a massive crush on her best friend's hot older brother, but that was a case of silly teenage puppy love. Developing feelings for him now is a super bad idea, when she's about to embark on the next phase of her life, far from small-town Ontario. Only with her creepy ex hanging around and not taking no for an answer, she needs a stronger deterrent. A fake relationship with Jayden feels like the perfect solution.
When the fake relationship turns into an attraction neither can deny, desire tempts them to take a shot at something real.
