Description



Book Synopsis



He's the hot hockey player she had a crush on in high school . . . and she's his new live-in assistant. In this tension-filled hockey romance from the viral TikTok author of The Fake Out and The Wingman, she must take a risk in love--or leave him out on the ice.

Aspiring musician Pippa Hartley's done with heartbreak. Her new gig? Personal assistant to Jamie Streicher, the surly hockey player she had a crush on in high school.

The job is supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about the intimidatingly hot Jamie is easy. He's grouchy, he's demanding, and he doesn't even remember her. Keeping things professional will be no problem.

Beneath his surliness, though, Jamie is surprisingly sweet and protective. He pretends to be her boyfriend to make her ex jealous. He encourages her in music and tells her she's beautiful. He buys her expensive gifts that make her feel seen. And when he learns her ex was bad in bed, Jamie's competitive nature flares. Turns out, Jamie remembers exactly who Pippa is, and that high school crush she had? The feeling was mutual.

Falling for Jamie can only lead to heartbreak . . . but it might be worth it.
