وصف الناشر
From a New York Times bestselling author, a second-chance rom-com about an author who goes viral when readers discover her book’s hero was inspired by a beloved pro hockey player—and her high school crush.
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 casts 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 rep 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 proposes they build on the momentum with a few fake dates to boost her book sales—and his sagging profile.
But when the fictional flirting gets a little too real, Mason realizes Gemma actually makes him want to become a better man—someone worthy of her trust and her love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This irresistible second-chance sports romance from Armstrong (Finding Mr. Write) stars fiery romance novelist Gemma Stanton, whose debut novel, a highland historical, draws inspiration from her failed teenage romance. Knowing that readers love an "asshole hero," she based her male lead off of Mason Moretti, her high school crush turned nemesis, who kissed her and ditched her and allowed the whole school to think he'd only done it on a dare. A vindictive former classmate, Ashley, now has a popular Vancouver morning TV show and invites Gemma on to promote her book—only to bring out Mason, now an NHL superstar with a reputation for ruthlessness, and reveal their connection. The clip goes viral, boosting both of their careers, and they agree to milk the moment though a series of fake dates. Meanwhile, Mason reads Gemma's book and is forced to reckon with his bad behavior. Armstrong has a talent for creating multifaceted characters, including a smart-mouthed heroine who will earn readers' affection from the start and a hunky hero whose redemption arc is a joy to witness. With a fast-paced plot, a fun meta angle, and a couple readers will root for, this is a delight.
