Diva in the Defensive Zone

She’s America’s sweetheart on the big screen.

He’s a Stanley Cup obsessed hockey player.

When they fake a relationship for publicity, whose icy attitude will melt first?

I’m Scarlett St. Clair, Hollywood darling, red carpet regular, and one scandal away from career collapse. The actress whose insurance company sued a professional hockey god for millions. So, when my PR team locks me into a fake romance with Chicago’s fiercest hockey enforcer, Trey Dillingham, doesn’t care that I didn’t file the claim.

What I get is a guy who smirks like sin and undresses me with a single glance.

The world’s watching, but behind closed doors, Trey doesn’t play pretend. He peels away my secrets and makes me wonder if this arrangement is the biggest risk of all. Because I might be falling for the man I never intended to keep.

I’m Trey Dillingham. The grind of the season, the roar of the crowd when fists fly is what I live for. I don’t chase the spotlight, and I sure as hell don’t babysit Hollywood starlets. My life has always been about control, both on the ice and off.

But Scarlett St. Clair wrecks my grip on normal.

She’s all glitter and red lips on the surface, but I see the cracks she hides. And once I’ve seen them, I can’t unsee them. This setup was supposed to be fake. But with Scarlett, I’m skating a line much riskier than any I’ve ever faced. And the only thing I want to win … is her.

If you like relatable heroines, sexy banter, and explosive chemistry, you’ll adore this sizzling read — heat that scorches past the final buzzer.
