The grumpy defenceman and the girl who disarms him

Nathan Sanders hasn't earned his reputation as the hockey team's biggest grump for nothing. So when Summer Callahan dances into his life, flashing sexy smiles and spreading her endless charm, he reacts as he always does: he completely ignores her.

But Summer is fascinated by this grumpy defenceman, and when a viral social media post requires her to pose as his girlfriend, Nathan doesn't have to do much persuading. She's convinced that the toughest shells often hide the softest centres, and she's determined to prove it.

But Nathan isn't so easy to crack. Despite the obvious spark between them, he makes it clear that he's not interested in a relationship – any relationship. But the longer they pretend, the more real everything becomes, and Summer finds herself falling more and more in love.

She can only hope their fake relationship doesn't end in real heartbreak.
