Pretend To Love You

From bestselling author Julia Jarrett comes a steamy, fake dating, grumpy / sunshine, small town romance about a former NHL star and his little sister's best friend who will heal more than his injured leg...

My all-star hockey career is over. All because of a busted leg from one too many hits into the boards. Coming home to Dogwood Cove to heal and figure out my next steps feels like the best option I've got.
Then somehow the first step I take is to wind up in a fake relationship with my physical therapist, who also happens to be my little sister's best friend.
It starts out simple enough. Lily needs a date to a family wedding, one that promises to be more torture than celebration. Now, thanks to an overbooked hotel with only one bed, two gossiping bridesmaids, and a three minute slow dance... the entire town, including our families, thinks we're dating.
To save face we decide to keep the ruse going.
There's just one problem: What I'm feeling for Lily is anything but pretend.
Falling for her wasn't part of the plan, but she's a ray of light that pierces through the dark clouds surrounding me.
She thinks my future is still in hockey, but I know differently.
My future is with her.
