From a USA Today–bestselling author: A chance encounter kicks off a series of fake dates between a shy librarian and the dreamy hockey player from her past.
The playoffs are looming, and Danny Marlowe's in the worst scoring slump of his professional career. The fiercely superstitious hockey player is desperate to turn his luck around. So when he gets a hat trick the game after a chance encounter with Sloane Wingrove, he's certain this stunning woman's his lucky charm. There's no way he's letting her out of his sight . . . After years of being overlooked by her high school crush, Sloane isn't eager to rehash the past. She's fine being single, thank you very much. But when Danny shows up at their five-year reunion and saves her from a little white lie about her famous boyfriend (him), her whole world flips upside down. Now the guy she never got over wants to make her a deal. He'll be her wingman if she'll continue to be his good luck charm. As Danny coaches Sloane, each teachable moment blurs the lines between playing around and playing for keeps. She knows better than to risk her heart on a guy who's married to the ice. He insists he can't sign up for a real relationship when the Stanley Cup is on the line. But as their connection grows, they'll both have to decide if it's worth pressing their luck for a chance at a real happily-ever-after. Tropes include: fake dating, friends to lovers, secret crush, and good luck charm. Narrated in duet style.
