Perfect Deke
Ruth Stilling · The Blade Kings #1
A golden retriever hockey rookie fake-dates his rival teammate's ex — the girl he's wanted since college.
Description
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...What to expect:Pro Hockey MMC x Pro Soccer FMCGolden Retriever x Black KittenRival Teammate’s ExFake DatingHe Falls First & HardForced Proximity
