Synopsis

A sexy, marriage-of-convenience, enemies-to-lovers, hockey romance by Amazon Top 50 and USA Today bestselling author, S.J. Sylvis.

There’s nothing wrong with playing the game – except when you know you’re about to lose.

As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming many things. A twenty-five-year-old photographer struggling to make ends meet with a mountain of legal fees wasn’t one of them. Making questionable decisions wasn’t either. ⁣

After hanging up my camera, I start a job I loathe that has me questioning my morals on a daily basis.⁣

Until I run into Chicago’s newest bad-boy goalie whose reputation is a trainwreck— Emory Olson.

In a desperate effort to rid my debt, I corner Emory and try to exploit him. When my plan backfires, I not only have a new enemy with steely blue eyes and a talent for the game but a man now on a mission with his own insane plan in mind. ⁣

Marry me.

The terms are simple: I marry Emory and act like his doting wife in front of the press to clean up his image, and he’ll pay off my debt when the job is done. But now, instead of my bills keeping me up at night, I find myself fantasizing about my fake husband and his devilish stare. ⁣

He tells me to play the game, but when lines start to blur and his touches linger, I’m not sure what’s real or fake anymore. The sizzling attraction and fiery chemistry between us can’t be contained.⁣

Emory Olson says he never loses, and by the end of our marriage game, I’m pretty sure I’m no exception. ⁣
