"A hilarious, sexy debut from an author who truly knows her hockey." --Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry on Shoot Your Shot
"[Brown] rose to prominence on BookTok, specifically by dissecting hockey romances and what they got right or wrong." Expert source? Check and check."--Vanity Fair
USA TODAY bestselling author, NHL insider, and TikTok influencer Lexi LaFleur Brown is back with another trope-packed, spicy, hockey-accurate rom com!
Don't get mad--get even.
A grudge hates to see Olivia Hinckley coming. Years ago, a dirty hit ended her late father's NHL career with the Minnesota Freeze. It was never fair that Erik Parker walked away with little more than a penalty, but it's worse that her father's rival is now up for Hall of Fame induction. On top of that, Erik's son--hockey's golden boy, Brody--just signed on to play for the Freeze. Determined to dismantle the Parker legacy, Olivia enacts a revenge plot that has her donning the Freeze's mascot costume to gain intel on the Parkers. And she can't help but mess with Brody's gameplay--and his heart for good measure. After all, what's a little fake dating between enemies?
Brody Parker only ever wanted to play hockey for fun, but the pressure of being part of hockey's "First Family" has him dodging nepotism allegations along with high sticks. Erik might act like Father of the Year when the cameras are on, but behind closed doors, Brody struggles with his father's impossible expectations. Preserving Erik's image is a full-time job, but lucky for Brody, his new connection with Olivia is a welcome (spicy) distraction.
When Brody finally opens up to Olivia, she never expected she'd pity a Parker for anything. Suddenly, she wants to protect her once-enemy. The romantic feelings she faked are now unexpectedly real, but after leading Brody on for so long, can she keep the lies and the truth straight before she accidentally blows up his whole life?

About the Author
LaFleur Brown, Lexi: - Lexi LaFleur Brown comes from a long line of hockey fans, so it was no surprise when she decided to hit the ice herself. Having grown up in the crease, she has seen it all. From the bottom of a dog pile after a big win, to the long quiet bus ride home after a loss and is better having faced both. Hockey laid the foundation for Lexi's can-do determination, which transferred nicely to her passion for education. She has an MS in Public Relations and a PhD in Education. When Lexi's not writing hockey romance, she's chronically online. With a large social media following, she advocates for more inclusivity in hockey, cracks jokes, and shares a glimpse into her own post-meet cute hockey life.
