Cold Case

A Spicy Fake-Dating College Hockey Romance

De: Lucy Barbee

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

It started with a dare. It ended with a departure gate. The deal was simple. Fake the romance. Keep it professional. Walk away clean.

Nobody said anything about catching feelings.

He is the loudest player on the ice and the last man she should have kissed at a house party at two in the morning. But the dare happened. The photo happened. And now the whole campus thinks they're together.

She is a nursing student with a crumbling GPA, a mother who just subpoenaed her own daughter, and a reputation she can't afford to lose. He is a hockey player on a borrowed year, hiding failed courses and a lie he told his mother about a girlfriend who doesn't exist.

He falls first. He falls loud. He falls the way he does everything, without a backup plan and without apology.

She falls slower. She falls like a woman who knows this is the worst possible idea and chooses it anyway.

But when a professional hockey contract arrives with his name on it, he has to choose: the dream he's chased his entire life, or the woman he didn't know he needed until she was already his.
