Pucking Pretend (Metro Raptors)

I love to hate my famous prick of an ex. Now we’re a viral jumbotron moment.

Marcus Chandler is so perfect I hate him for it.

I hate him even more for choosing hockey over me.

So yeah… I roast the grumpy jerk on X.

And accidentally blow up the internet.

Next thing I know, I’m on a jumbotron, smiling through my teeth at my ex while he looks ready to check me into the boards.

He drags me backstage, furious. Then kisses me.

When his fans come for me, my bakery’s caught in the crossfire.

His solution? Fake date me to “protect” me.

Only fake dating gets complicated when your ex is a hockey player with very talented hands.

One breathless session against the locker room wall, and my defenses are totally shattered.

But he’s my ex for a reason and already walked away once.

If I fall again, I’m not just risking my heart.

I’m risking everything on a man who might still choose the game—

and prove this was always just pucking pretend.

Pucking Pretend is a steamy standalone romance—each book in the series can be read independently.

You’ll find a hockey star still carrying a grudge, a sweet bakery owner with a habit of roasting her ex online, and a fake dating scheme that starts as damage control… and comes with a few locker room complications.
