What happens when the guy you can't stand becomes the solution to all your problems? --- Xavier Cole is a man-whore. A womanizer. A complete player. And on most days? A walking red flag. Unfortunately for me, he's also charming, reckless, and very publicly unattached. The kind of guy no one would ever question suddenly having a girlfriend... and the last person anyone would expect to be faking it. Which makes him the perfect solution when my ex shows back up in town, convinced he deserves a second chance. I didn't mean to kiss Xavier at the annual hockey team New Year's Eve party. I really didn't! But it happened. And now everyone thinks we're dating. That he's my boyfriend. Which might be my fault too... because I may have told people we were together.

Which means we're going to have to make this work.

Caden Connelly is hot. Dumb. And possibly cursed. Every girl he dates ends up falling for someone else-usually one of his teammates-and he's sick of being the universe's personal punchline. So this semester, he's got a new plan: fake date someone completely undateable. Someone so immune to hockey charm, the curse won't stand a chance. Enter Raven Alore. She's too smart to fall for a himbo goalie and way too busy trying to win a cutthroat sports media internship, take revenge on her ex, and survive living with her backstabbing roommate. She has exactly zero time for Caden's golden retriever energy or his abs of distraction. But when fake dating him gets her: a viral PR case study a shot at the internship and her ex shaking in his cleats... Well, she's in. With conditions. No feelings. No flirting. No shirtless selfies.

Might not be fake at all. By the time the puck drops, someone's gonna catch feelings. Let's just hope it's not cursed.
