"I love you, I'm sorry." Falling in love with Grayson Blackwell wasn't part of Rosalie's five-year plan. She was supposed to coast through her junior and senior year at Evercrest Academy, study hard, and open her own flower shop in New York. But the golden boy of the school had a different idea. Captain of the football team, top of his class, and heir to the wealthy Blackwell family, Grayson has it all. Except he wants Rosalie. Shy, smart, and kind, she's bewitched him since the second she first walked into Evercrest. And when he pairs up with her for a project, their hearts do the talking. But then Rosalie leaves. She kills their true love and disappears, shattering Grayson's heart and, molding a completely different person in his wake. Long gone is caring, sweet Grayson. He's been replaced by one of the most influential and successful CEOs in business history, Mr. Blackwell. Rosalie hated leaving the only boy she's ever loved, but time has moved on for her. Although her broken heart still longs for him and the "what-ifs?", Rosalie's living what was supposed to be her dream life. So why does she feel so empty? Time hasn't moved on for Grayson, though. He's still mesmerized by Rosalie, and when he stumbles into her flower shop, the one they talked about building together, he won't let her go again. Letting her leave was the worst mistake of his life, and one he won't make for a second time. Rosalie doesn't want to break her heart again, and now, Grayson has all the power to shatter it beyond repair. She wants to keep him at arms length. He just wants her.

He's the NHL star with a cold reputation--she's the spark that could melt it all. All Lilah wants to do is keep her head down, finish her online college course, chase her dreams of becoming a baker, and survive. But when a photo caught at the wrong time with the NHL's newest star, Cole Becker, goes viral, she's suddenly thrust into the limelight--exactly where she doesn't want to be. And when the person she tried so hard to escape from resurfaces because of her new popularity, Lilah has no choice to run to the safety of fame and Cole Becker as his fake-girlfriend. Because no one can lay a finger on the newest sweetheart of hockey, can they? But Cole makes her feel things she's never felt before and she wants nothing but to be loved by the boy that makes her feel beautiful and safe. Cole Becker needs an out, and fast. A stupid rumor built on absolutely nothing is threatening to destroy the reputation he's barely built. He's only a few games into his rookie NHL season and already he's been nicknamed the NHL's "Ice King;" scary, domineering, and arrogant. So when Lilah crashes her way into his world, he has no choice but to fake-date her, to both help his reputation, and to help the girl who's already got him wrapped around her finger. He wants to show her she's worthy of love. She wants to be loved by him. And when the lines between real and fake start to blur, Lilah has to let go of the secrets in her past holding her down and let herself love the goalie. But someone is lurking in the shadows, ready to steal Lilah away from the life she's tried so hard to build.
