Pucking My Best Friend’s Brother by Livvy Stone

The world yearns for my billionaire’s riches…
But I’d trade it all for my first love, my sister’s best friend.
Years ago, Emma Mattews fled her toxic father.
She came back to make a living from her family-owned skating rink.
She didn’t know her father sold it to the hockey team owner: me.
I didn’t know she’d returned with dark secrets and scars…
Her beauty made my every nerve tingle with familiar desire.
Her very scent ignited an unquenchable fire.
All I saw was a second chance with the woman I love.
All she saw was the man she resented for ghosting her.
We make a deal: she’ll be my fake fiancée to help me keep the team
and she’ll get the rink back.
The freeze around her heart starts melting,
until one night our chemistry crushes the ice.
Yet shadows of the past loom,
and her cruel ex, my star player, threatens our fragile truce.
I won’t let her skate back to him.
I’ll protect her from her worst enemy: herself.

The stakes are high and the ice is thin but I’m determined to fight for a love that’s real.
