Play It Dirty
Michelle Hercules · Players of Hannaford U #1
A cocky hockey player fake-dates the only girl who ever friend-zoned him — and plays to win.
Description
Despite my last name being Kingsley, I had to work hard for my crown. I’m a gifted hockey player but earning a spot on the Hannaford U hockey team took more than talent. When it comes to dating, that’s a different story. I’ve always had it easy. There’s never been a girl I couldn’t win over. Until I met Gia Mancini, a goddess among mortals—not only did my charms not work on her, she friend-zoned me. But our story isn’t over yet. She messed up, and the only way she can fix her mistake is by agreeing to fake date me. Now the game is on, and I’m not opposed to playing it dirty.
