From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies Lynn Painter comes a heartfelt and banter-filled rom-com about childhood sweethearts whose icy reunion in their hockey-loving hometown unexpectedly thaws when they fake a romantic relationship.
Growing up, Dani couldnât help but follow around the adorable son of her momâs best friend. Funny, kind of nerdy, and a little soft, Alec was always down to hang with Dani when they were little. From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable. Until Dani moved away. Alec promised theyâd stay in touchâexcept, they didnât.
Flash forward and Dani is back in Minnesota for her senior year, she and her mom living with her grandfather. Dealing with the fallout of her parentsâ devastating divorce, Dani wouldnât mind a nerd-out with the cozy and comforting Alec (and maybe a chance to confront him on his MIA status for all these years). But teenage Alec is nothing like the kid Dani remembers. Heâs a hockey star in a town where hockey players are worshiped as gods. Daniâs place as his shadow has been taken up by drooling female fansâ¦and he loves it.
Dani is resolved to ice out her former best friend until an unlikely series of events brings them togetherâand forces them to fake being a couple. Once forced together, the former childhood sweethearts begin to reconnect, unearth complicated family secrets, and face their true feelings towards each otherâ¦including the real reason Alec has been pushing Dani away all these years.
