Publisher Description
Love or hate, they can’t stay away from each other…
When good friends Lyndsey and Aiden wake up married in Vegas, everything is chaos. Naturally, Lyndsey wants a divorce from the Ice Hockey star after her drunken mistake, but Aiden isn’t quite ready to call it quits.
Knowing that he needs to stay married to gain his parent’s inheritance, Aiden convinces Lyndsey to join him at his home in Texas - and fake being the perfect wife to his family.
But both get more than they bargained for when news of their wedding hits the press. For the sake of family and friendship, their game of playing pretend doesn't end - not even when blackmailers threaten to reveal truths about Lyndsey's past.
As both Aidan and Lyndsey shoulder their battles, can the team captain really hold them both together? And could they even fake it until they make it?
An unmissable, spicy sporting romance, filled with chemistry and passion. Fans of Hannah Grace and Bal Khabra will love this.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
What happens in Vegas doesn't stay there in this cute contemporary from Phillips (Melting for You). Star NHL player Aiden Anders, captain of the Seattle Spears, wakes up in Sin City next to Lyndsey Stone, best friend to his teammate's fiancée, and discovers that they drunkenly married the night before. Given the stipulation in Aiden's father's will that he can claim his inheritance once he's married, he asks Lyndsey, who is dodging messages from an obsessive ex-girlfriend, to postpone the inevitable divorce and pretend to be happily married on a trip to Texas to see his family. Faking a relationship soon leads to real intimacy, and after the press and the public learn of the marriage, Aiden's determined to protect Lyndsey from the fallout. Readers expecting a sports romance will find very little hockey. Instead, Phillips focuses on slowly peeling back the layers of Aiden's and Lyndsey's backstories to reveal their vulnerabilities. It's a sweet enough take on a familiar trope.
