Moving to Salt Lake City is supposed to be my fresh start\u2014a chance to escape my overbearing dad\u2019s shadow and finally build my veterinary career on my own terms. All I have to do is avoid Kayden Bouchard.

Easier said than done when he walks into my best friend’s house like he owns it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hot-shot hockey player needs to convince the team’s new owners that he’s not the playboy they think he is. If he can’t, they won’t re-sign him. There’s just one problem\u2014he’s exactly the playboy they think he is.

His brilliant idea? A fake relationship. And guess who happens to be right there when this idea pops into his head?<\/em>

It should be easy to say no.

Sure, our one-night stand was tolerable\u2014fine, it was gold-medal worthy. But pretending to be his girlfriend? I’d rather examine a skunk-spayed dog that everyone can smell from a mile away.

But he’s desperate for that contract renewal, and I’m desperate to prove I can make my own choices. Even if one of those choices is saying yes to this spectacularly bad idea.

At least there’s no chance I’ll ever fall for him. Right?

Fake the Shot is a fake relationship, dislike-to-lovers hockey romance with no third-act breakup. While this is a standalone novel, it takes place after the events in Home Ice<\/em>,\u00a0so there are spoilers! Note: this book features a transgender heroine, but her identity as a trans woman is not a central part of the plot.

When I left for college ten years ago, I swore I would never come back. Why would I after everything that happened? But here I am, back in the same city and the same house. And it’s filled with the same bad memories.

Now, I have to face them without the one person who promised they would always be there for me. The empty house is just a reminder that I’m on my own.

But I’m so much stronger than I was back then. And I only have to make it through one year. What’s the worst that could happen?

Brant Morrison throwing himself in front of me like he’s taking an assassin’s bullet. That’s what.<\/strong>

I have everything under control until he stomps into my life. With those eyebrows of his. And those abs. There’s no way abs like that are legal in Utah.

Then, because every dark night can always get a little darker, I find out he’s the goalie for the Sting. The same team that hired me as their new assistant athletic trainer. Now I’m stuck with him for the season.

It’s just one year. Then I can go back to the life I’ve been building for myself. There’s no room for Brant Morrison in that life. And there’s certainly no room for the feelings he brings out in me. Feelings that make my skin so warm I’m staying away from dry brush, just in case.

Maybe this year is going to be more difficult than I thought.

Home Ice is a spicy, funny\u2014sometimes angsty\u2014standalone professional hockey romance featuring a transgender heroine and her way-too-hot hockey goalie neighbor.<\/em>
