My dad, the coach, spent months training our guys to take down Dmitri Lokhov.
He’s the hottest, fastest, and grumpiest defenseman on the rink. No one’s seen him smile, let alone mutter more than a few broody words.
But when Dmitri loses his calm, knocking out our best player who happens to be my fiancé, everyone is shocked.
With a little liquid courage, I break into Dmitri’s cushy five-star hotel suite. After all, we knew each other as teenagers, so I need to give Mr. Grumpy Superstar a piece of my mind.
What I’m not supposed to learn is why he lost his cool in the first place. It was over a nasty comment about me. Made by my fiancé.
I break the wedding off, but the best way to get revenge?
Fake date his rival.
