All I want is to play hockey on the Ice Knights, instead, I'm in a viral video for all the wrong reasons and my mom-yes, my mom-has taken over my dating apps. Then, when I think it can't get any worse, the fates deliver Zara Ambrose, a five-feet-nothing redhead with more freckles than inches and who'd rather be anywhere other than on a date with me. Now a bet with her friends and my PR nightmare have us both stuck in this go-on-five-dates-with-the-same-person hell situation. But if we band together, we can get the whole thing over with and go on with our lives. It's perfect! No feelings. No future. No fuc- *ahem* fun. No naked fun.What could go wrong? Nothing-as long as I remember the rules. Don't notice the way she looks in a dress. Don't react when she does that little shivery sigh thing whenever we touch. Don't think about the fact that she's never had a toe-curling orgasm that wasn't self-delivered and just how badly I want to change that.Five dates-that's it-and then we go our separate ways. At least, that was the plan...

How exactly has one good deed landed me in the penalty box?Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn has come down with the flu, and my BFF-his PR manager-begs me to put my nursing degree to use and get him back to health.

But then...the team finally wins a game. And now this fickle town wants me with the big jerk twenty-four seven.Argh. I never slept with him the first time! But no one will listen. Then the grumpy bastard goes and promises to break his no-fan-appearances rule to help raise money for a free health clinic-but only if I'm rink-side at every game. That's not a deal I can turn down.But when the team keeps winning, and I realize there's more to him than his bad reputation, suddenly remembering to keep my real hands off my fake date gets harder and harder to do.

Hudson can't stop thinking about her.His regular moves won't work here. He's going to need a new plan, starting with helping her win over the man she thinks she wants. And if in the process she ends up falling for Hudson instead? Even better. Step one, charm her panties off. Step two, repeat step one as frequently as possible.But what if the famous Carlyle charm finally fails him when he needs it most? Or worse, what if she figures out the one secret he's kept from everyone, including his family, and walks away for good?

I never meant to say a word, not one single word.But I did.Now because of something I leaked-without even realizing it-I've inadvertently broken up one of the Ice Knights' most legendary bromances. And worse-I've kicked hockey star Ian Petrov's grumpy level to insane levels of grump.And what could make it worse? How about the two of us being trapped together in a remote cabin after a massive blizzard. Neither of us can leave. Just us, the snow, his resentment, and OMG sexual tension so thick it would take a snowplow to break through it.I've got to get out of here before I do something even dumber than I've already done and kiss the sexy grouch with his misplaced anger and perfect pecs. That would be the worst, the absolute worst. But... would it be terrible if we gave in? Just a little? It's not like we're ever going to have to spend time together again.Until the next morning when we're told we have to play chummy for the press until this news cycle blows over. F.M.L.

Free spirits with personal boundary issues, excessive quirks, or general squeamishness need not apply. Salary negotiable. Confidentiality required.Workaholic billionaire Sawyer Carlyle may have joked he needed a buffer from their marriage-obsessed mom, but he didn't need a waiting room filled with candidates to further distract him.

But there's something he's not telling me about why he's really hanging around, and I'm pretty sure it has to do with my mob-connected brothers. Because this is not a make-over story, and Cinderella is only a fairy tale...
