One bet. Thirty days. No feelings involved...until there are.
Grace Walsh is excited for her sophomore year at Ocean Cove University: she's on the artistic swim team, she's in a top-tier sorority, out of the view of her overbearing mom, and ready to devote herself to anything other than disappointing college boys. But when hockey star Wyatt Jacobs tips her off that she's the target of a bet to see which frat bro can score with her first, she decides to turn the tables.
By asking Wyatt to pose as her boyfriend for one month to ruin the bet.
Wyatt Jacobs has one thing on his mind for his junior year, and that's playing hockey and catching the eye of professional scouts for the draft. He doesn't want any romantic entanglements and is purely about the hookup, which his hockey-obsessed father completely endorses. But when Grace asks for his help to blow up a degrading bet, he finds himself saying yes.
But when Wyatt and Grace find there is more to each other than meets the eye, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur. The chemistry is real, the feelings are no longer fake, and both begin to grow in ways they never thought possible. Can Wyatt and Grace be brave enough to become the people they are truly meant to be, both as individuals and with each other?
The Bet is a college sports romance with a green flag hockey player, steamy scenes, found family and a happily-ever-after.
Tropes: Fake Dating, Hockey Romance, College Romance, FMC Athlete.
