Pucks, Lies, and Sticktape by Ginny Sterling

Fake marriage? Check.

A job on the line? Check.

Accidentally falling for the hottest goalie in the league? … Oops?

Matthieu Larsson wasn’t looking for a wife—just a loophole. All he had to do was technically be married to secure his dream spot on the Wolverines. Easy, right? That was before he met Jeannie.

Jeannie had no idea that standing up for herself would backfire so spectacularly. One minute, she was telling off a jerk. The next, a six-foot-something golden-haired goalie was swooping in like an avenging angel, offering her protection with a little white lie. It was all supposed to be temporary… until the truth came out.

Now, she’s playing the role of hockey’s newest wife, fielding awkward questions, dodging suspicious teammates, and realizing the biggest lie of all? She might actually like being Matthieu’s wife.

In Pucks, Lies, and Sticktape, a fake marriage turns into real trouble when feelings get involved—because in the game of love, even the best goalies can’t always block what’s coming.
