Ethan Parkes needs a date for his cousin’s wedding—fast. His ex-fiancé is the best man, and showing up alone isn’t an option. Enter Jacob, his fake boyfriend for the weekend. It’s just a deal, nothing more. Except Jacob gets him in a way no one else ever has, making Ethan question everything, including his life beyond hockey.
Jacob has had a crush on Ethan for years, so pretending to be his boyfriend? No hardship there. But when their fake relationship turns into something real, Ethan reminds him they only have the off-season. Jacob isn’t so sure.
With a ten-year age gap, teammates who won’t stop meddling, and a future that feels uncertain, Ethan and Jacob will have to decide—keep playing it safe or take the biggest risk of all.
