She has a goalie problem.
Therapist Dani Albans swore off hockey players after her last disaster, so naturally she ends up fake-dating one. When her goalie ex won't take a hint, she asks a stranger to kiss her in public, only to find out he's a NHL goalie too. It's not lost on her that apparently her type is men who stop pucks for a living...just like her estranged father.
Gabe Tucker, golden retriever goalie for the Denver Stampede, couldn't resist helping a beautiful woman in distress. But it turns out her irritating ex is on the rival Colorado team. With the NHL season starting, they need a solid plan. And what could be more logical than a fake relationship?
The rules are simple: Date publicly for a month, convince her ex it's over, then walk away clean.
Gabe's already falling-hard. When their for show chemistry ignites into something real, their no-strings agreement starts looking like the worst idea he's ever had.
Tropes:
- Fake dating
- Golden Retriever goalie
- Sarcastic therapist
- Opposites attract
- Steamy banter
- His dog has more social media followers than he does
- He falls first/he fell harder
- Team shenanigans
