Trying to Score

When your past comes back to score… and it’s wearing skates.

Sara Dawson has a plan: grind out ninety-hour weeks, make partner before thirty, and never—ever—mix business with pleasure. But when hockey superstar Teddy King shows up with a legal emergency and a very compromising video from their college days, her perfectly ordered world goes off the rails.

The video? The one she swore was deleted. The one that could wreck both their careers.

To contain the scandal, Sara and Teddy agree to fake-date for the cameras. Keep things flirty, act like it’s all part of a rekindled romance, and ride out the media storm. Easy enough.

Except nothing about Teddy is easy. Not the way he looks at her. Not the heat that simmers whenever they’re close. And definitely not the feelings that never really went away.

As past passion collides with present temptation, keeping it fake gets harder by the second. And if they’re not careful, their staged love story might just become the real thing.

A sizzling second-chance, fake-dating romance with off-the-charts chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, and a heart-melting HEA. Perfect for fans of steamy athlete romances, forbidden history, and lawyers who never lose—except maybe at love.
