by Ellie Blackbourne (Author)

He's the team's hotshot defenseman, a trust fund a-hole and my brother's least favorite teammate...and now he's my fake boyfriend.

I need tuition money fast. A school-wide couples contest could be my saving grace, If I wasn't single as hell. My siblings insist on setting me up with someone to play the part of my boyfriend, only they come back with the one guy I hoped to avoid.

Blake Taylor is confident, flirty, and athletic-everything that I'm not. I know he can never be mine, so ignoring him is easy...until he saves me from a dangerous fight. This encounter brings out a side of him I've never noticed before, and with every televised date, my determination to shut him out weakens.

This relationship was supposed to be fake, but with every stolen glance and absentminded touch I can't help but think...
