Fake dating him wasn’t in the job description either.
And neither was pucking up by getting pregnant.
Luke Smith is the golden retriever of hockey—charming, reckless, and the kind of guy who thinks any problem can be solved with a grin.
Too bad I don’t do charming, reckless men.
Our first meeting? He’s dared to make out with the girl sitting at the bar with her nose in a book—yes, that’s me. So, I pour a beer over his head. His response? A smirk and, “When I see you again, I’m getting that kiss.”
The next day, my brother hands me a new job.
Guess what? Public Relations Specialist, tasked with saving Luke’s image and the Atlanta Fire’s reputation.
The catch? I have to live with him to keep him on a tight leash.
My job is to keep him out of trouble, steer him away from puck bunnies, and avoid his games. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Luke tests my patience with every flirty smirk and cheesy line.
And when a fake date to quiet the media turns into late-night talks, stolen kisses, and smoldering looks, the lines between us blur.
His playful banter feels too real, and those brown puppy-dog eyes have me questioning every rule I’ve set.
But guys like Luke don’t settle down, do they? His romantic gestures feel like part of the game he always plays.
And now that I’m pregnant, how am I supposed to take him seriously?
The question that keeps me up at night?
What if Luke is telling the truth?
Or am I really only just his fake play?
