Love On Ice (Novella)
Eliza Calloway never imagined that one impulsive kiss would change her life forever. But when she plants a bold, spur-of-the-moment kiss on pro hockey star Logan Harding to make her ex jealous, the last thing she expects is for Logan to track her down afterward with a proposition she can't quite believe. Logan Harding has a reputation. On the ice, he's fierce, unstoppable, and beloved by fans. Off the ice? He's the league's bad boy, and management is breathing down his neck to clean up his image or risk his career. His solution: a fake girlfriend who looks nothing like the puck bunnies he's been linked to before. Sweet, hard-working Eliza is perfect for the role. And to sweeten the deal, he offers her one million dollars to play along. For Eliza, it's a dream-and a nightmare. That kind of money could change her life, secure her future, and help the people she loves most. But signing the contract means binding herself to Logan's world of cameras, gossip, and scrutiny. Worse, it means putting her heart on the line, because the more time she spends with Logan, the more she sees the man beneath the armor: protective, passionate, and heartbreakingly vulnerable. As their staged romance blurs into something dangerously real, Eliza faces the ultimate question: What happens when pretending turns into wanting? Because falling for Logan would break every rule of their agreement...and maybe break her heart in the process.
