The No. 1 New York Times bestselling author delivers a fun second-chance, fake dating romance about a debut author and the hot-headed hockey player she casts as her main character.

Description

A reunion gone viral. A love story that's anything but fictional?

Debut author Gemma Stanton knows romance readers love a bad boy - and she has the perfect prototype for her novel: Mason Moretti. High school hockey god-turned-pro player, Mason was Gemma's first crush, but she couldn't forget the sting of his very public rejection. So, she cast him as a hot-headed Highlander in her spicy new historical romance. She never expected readers would find out on live TV - when a morning show host invites Mason for a surprise on-air reunion...

As an aging hockey player with a reputation for being ruthless on the ice - and roguish off of it - Mason has an image problem. So, when his meet-cute with Gemma goes viral, Mason proposed they build on the momentum with a few fake dates to boost her book sales... and his profile. But when the fictional flirting gets a little too real, Mason realises Gemma actually makes him want to become a better man - someone worthy of her trust and her love.

Would Gemma ever give him a second chance? Mason knows it's a long shot, but taking shots is sorta his thing, and besides, who loves a redemption arc more than a romance author?

About the Author

No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she's been told this shouldn't apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.
