The fake out.
He's the hot, grumpy goalie I had a crush on in high school ... and now I'm his live-in assistant. After my ex crushed my dreams in the music industry, I'm done with getting my heart broken. Working as an assistant for an NHL player was supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about Jamie Streicher is easy. He's intimidatingly hot, grumpy, and can't stand me. The guy has a massive ego. Keeping things professional will be no problem, even when he demands I move in with him. Beneath his surliness, though, Jamie's surprisingly sweet and protective. When he finds out my ex was terrible in bed, his competitive nature flares, and he encourages and spoils me in every way. The creative spark I used to feel about music? It's back, and I'm writing songs again. Between wearing his jersey at games, fun, rowdy parties with the team, and being brave on stage again, I'm falling for him. He could break my heart, but maybe I'm willing to take that chance.

An NHL staffer gets revenge on her ex by fake dating his rival teammateâbut soon discovers her very real feelings in this fiery hockey romance from the viral TikTok author of Behind the Net and The Wingman.
The best way for Hazel Hartley, physiotherapist for the Vancouver Storm hockey team, to get back at her horrible ex? Fake date his new teammate, Rory Miller: her exâs rival, the top scorer in the league, and the arrogant, flirtatious hockey player she tutored in high school.
Faking it with Rory is fun and addictive, though, and beneath the bad boy swagger, Roryâs sweet, funny, and protective. He teaches Hazel to skate and spends way too much money on her. He sleeps in her bed and convinces her to break her one-time-only hookup rule. He teases her with a nickname and tells her his secrets.
Hockey players are only as faithful as their options, but after seeing the other side of Rory, she might be starting to trust this one.
Itâs all for show, but when Rory kisses her like itâs real, Hazel starts to wonder . . .Â
Was he ever faking it to begin with?
