Faking All the Way by Nikki Lawson
One gorgeous hockey player. One little lie. One fake relationship that turns my holidays upside down.

When my asshole ex ambushes me at the airport with his perfect new fiancée, I panic and claim I'm dating Asher Vaughn, the hockey star whose face I just saw on the news.

Then the actual Asher Vaughn walks into baggage claim, so I do the only logical thing I can think I march over and kiss him like my life depends on it.

But the crazy thing is… he kisses me back.

He even agrees to go along with my lie in exchange for a place to stay while he's in town dealing with his estranged father. Should be easy enough. He'll take the guest house, we'll keep up appearances in public, and after the holidays, we'll go our separate ways.

I just didn't expect Asher to be so good at pretending. He defends my dreams, kisses me under the mistletoe, and looks at me like he's been starving for my curves his whole life.

And when we get snowed in one night with only one bed, all our rules go out the window.

The next thing I know, he's tying me up with Christmas ribbon and showing me everything I've been missing. Calling me “bright eyes” like it means something, teaching me to skate, and making me scream his name where my ex might hear.

This was supposed to be temporary. Just a deal to survive the holidays.

But as we count down the days until Christmas, I don't know what scares me that our fake relationship will be ending soon… or that I want it to be real.
