"Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand.

The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

Hayden Clarke, capitano dei Chicago Panthers, è una star dell'hockey con reputazione da playboy e un soprannome che domina i tabloid: Ice King. Sul ghiaccio è impeccabile, fuori è un disastro annunciato. Ma quando un incidente stradale gli porta via il fratello e la cognata, la sua vita cambia all'improvviso. Hayden si ritrova a prendersi cura della nipotina di due anni, Sophie, e con una promessa da mantenere: fare di tutto per tenerla con sé. Janice Corey è una graphic designer che non resta mai troppo a lungo nello stesso posto, in fuga da un passato di violenza testimoniato dalle cicatrici che si porta addosso. Arrivata a Chicago per ricominciare, ottiene un lavoro con i Panthers... e un ruolo di finta fidanzata. Una bugia inaspettata che Hayden racconta per convincere l'assistente sociale della propria affidabilità e non perdere la tutela di Sophie. Da quel momento, i due stabiliscono regole ferree: niente baci, niente contatto, nessun coinvolgimento. Ma tra partite decisive, notti insonni e silenzi che fanno più rumore delle parole, la linea tra recita e verità inizia a sfumare. Mentre tutto intorno a loro cambia, anche la bugia che li tiene uniti comincia a trasformarsi in qualcosa di pericolosamente reale. Perché si può mentire al mondo intero, ma non al cuore quando decide di restare. ©️È vietata qualsiasi riproduzione. Copyright, Tutti i diritti riservati.
