Hannah Reed has a plan. Make Ethan Cross notice her. Stop being the invisible girl with the color-coded notes and the hopeless crush. Finally become the kind of girl who gets chosen instead of overlooked. Nate Wilder has a problem. After one too many public scandals, the Northwood hockey star is officially on thin ice. His coach wants clean. Stable. Respectable. Which is unfortunate, considering Nate's reputation is built on parties, bad decisions, and never taking the same girl home twice. So when Nate realizes Hannah wants Ethan's attention, and Hannah realizes Nate needs a fake girlfriend to fix his image, they make a deal. She'll help him look like a reformed campus playboy. He'll help her make Ethan jealous. No feelings. No complications. No crossing lines they can't uncross. Simple enough. Until fake dates start feeling real. Until Nate becomes the one teaching Hannah how to be touched, wanted, and confident. Until the boy who never dates starts looking at her like she's the only thing on campus worth risking his heart for. Hannah wanted Ethan to finally see her. She never planned on Nate being the one who couldn't look away.

She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home - with a grin and a proposition she can't seem to refuse. • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young - but there's always consequences to dancing with temptation and Charlotte has paid the price. One she promises herself she won't ever revisit. But now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - her young and stupid mistakes - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings. Just a physical arrangement to burn off the heat neither of them can seem to ignore. But desire this dangerous doesn't play by the rules. And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.
