What to expect
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'An elite hockey romance written by a pro.' Bestselling Author Laura Carter
Her hockey star ex. A snowy cabin escape. A fake dating scheme to fool their families.
Carson
A family tragedy caused Ayla and I to stop skating in the same direction. I'm burying my head in hockey practice and finding my way back to myself. Now she wants me to pretend we never fell apart for one snowy weekend in the mountains. I tell myself it’s just a favor. But sharing a cabin with the woman I once called home? That’s dangerous ice.
Ayla
Carson and I loved each other, but grief rewrote the rules, and neither of us knew how to play anymore. However, our relationship status isn’t public knowledge and I need him to help keep the illusion intact. Just temporarily for my Nonna’s birthday. Pretending brings back the easy banter, the familiar heat, the moments that once made us a team. The problem? None of it feels fake. But can we get past this one weekend and confront what we have been too scared to talk about and maybe find our way back to each other?
TROPES:
⛸️ Snowy cabin
⛸️ Fake dating
⛸️ Second chances
⛸️ Hurt / comfort
