A spicy, haters-to-lovers, fake-dating hockey romcom.
Not so long ago, Robbie Mason had it all. Three Stanley Cup wins, two Hart trophies, and sponsorship deals worth millions. But then he went and broke his own teammate’s jaw, and the best defenseman in the history of the NHL hit rock bottom, hard.
Offered one last chance to play on the worst team in the league, the New York Thunder, Robbie knows he has to fix his reputation in order to prove to his coaches and league officials that he’s no longer the infamous bad boy of hockey.
With her job on the line, New York City real estate agent, Fran Keller, needs a sale before she loses her one and only listing.
When she receives a last-minute viewing request, Fran is prepared to do just about anything to secure a signed deal sheet. That is until she opens the door to Robbie Mason, her old high school nemesis.
Fran needs to sell a six-million-dollar apartment to keep her job.
Robbie needs a place to live, and just so happens to have six-million bucks to spend.
It’s the perfect plan. Robbie buys the apartment and, in exchange, Fran pretends to be his girlfriend. Because what better way to prove that he’s cleaned up his act than by settling down with a nice, young career-driver woman?
And, besides, who better to fake a relationship with that someone you can’t stand?
Yeah, right…. Famous Last Words.
What starts as a reputation-saving fake relationship turns messy fast when old grudges collide with fresh attraction. In Famous Last Words, a disgraced hockey star and the real estate agent who used to be his high school nemesis strike a deal that should solve both their problems, until forced proximity starts making their arrangement feel a little too convincing. A solid pick for readers who want spicy sports romance, sharp banter, and enemies-to-lovers tension.
