Just Playing For Keeps by Lauren Blakely

$21.99

When a breakup goes spectacularly wrong on the jumbotron of a packed hockey arena, dating coach Riley Hart finds herself at the center of a viral disaster. The last thing she expects is for the team’s notoriously gruff star winger, Lake Axelrod, to step in and save her from the spotlight.

Then Lake offers an unexpected solution: accompany him to a high-profile wedding as his girlfriend. For Riley, it’s the perfect chance to prove she’s moved on from the ex who shattered her reputation. For Lake, it keeps unwanted attention off his personal life. All they have to do is convince everyone their relationship is real.

As fake dates turn into stolen moments and carefully rehearsed affection begins to feel dangerously genuine, Riley discovers there’s more to the guarded hockey star than his intimidating reputation. But when real feelings threaten to break the rules they agreed upon, both must decide whether what started as a simple arrangement is worth risking their hearts for.

A charming sports romance filled with chemistry, humor, and plenty of swoon-worthy moments.
