One fake boyfriend. One bed.
And one rule we’re definitely about to break.
Brooks Kingston. My older brother’s best friend. My childhood nemesis. The cocky hockey god who once made my life a living hell... and now kisses me like I’m the only goal he’s ever wanted to score.
The infuriating man is back in Beaver County, nursing a shoulder injury and grumping up the local frozen lake. And thanks to one tiny, inconvenient lie that lands me my dream sportscaster promotion and makes his adorable ailing grandma happy, I’m suddenly playing the role of doting girlfriend to the enemy.
Fake dating I can handle.
Moving in with him? A stretch.
Sharing a bed with the man who once chopped off my ponytail—and now kisses like sin? That’s where the plan starts to melt faster than the ice beneath his skates.
Between the steamy "just for the cameras" touches and his unexpectedly sweet late-night confessions, I start to wonder if maybe the sparks flying between us aren’t so fake after all.
But when his injury heals, he’ll go back to pro hockey. I’ll go back to chasing my dream. And neither of us is ready to admit that maybe…this is the dream.
Because somewhere in the fire, the fights, and the way he looks at me like I’m his forever—this enemies-with-benefits thing is starting to feel a whole lot like love.
*Fake Off is a witty, heartfelt stand-alone rom com with adult language and steamy, open-door chemistry that will have you rooting for a happily-ever-after.

REVIEWS:
"I devoured this book in one sitting—literally stayed up all night reading because I couldn’t put it down! As a die-hard hockey fan from Boston, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a story set in small-town Idaho, but FAKE OFF had me falling in love with every character, every rink-side scene, and every heartfelt moment from page one. Between the fake relationship trope (done so well), the behind-the-scenes look at the sports reporting and hockey worlds, and the found-family vibes that hit you right in the feels, FAKE OFF checks all the boxes for a top-tier hockey romance. If you’re a fan of strong women, sensitive-but-sexy heroes, and small towns that wrap around you like your favorite hoodie, you need this book in your life.
~ Tory, Goodreads Reviewer
