How to complicate your rookie season in the NHL: fake date your former college rival and now teammate's ex-girlfriend.

It's a bad idea, and I know it, especially since Kendra Hart has had a hold over me since our freshman year of college. She has no idea how I feel, and I have zero control over my mouth when her life goes up in smoke and she needs a friend, along with a place to stay.

My coach, who also happens to be my stepdad, is warning me to stay away not only for the team's sake but to spare me from getting hurt. I should probably listen to his advice. However, taking the simple route has never been my thing. And with every "fake" look, touch, and kiss I give her, I think she might be starting to like me for more than just my British accent.

I'm starting to think this might be my best idea yet…

Expect the following tropes: pro-hockey MMC x pro-soccer FMC, golden retriever x black kitten, rival teammate's ex, fake dating, he falls first and hard, and forced proximity.
