A hockey player climbing back to the top of his game blows up the sport's hottest rivalry when he unknowingly indulges in a one-night stand with his rival's sister.Kristen Burke isn't a hockey fan. She grew up in the shadow of an older brother destined for the Hockey Hall of Fame and she wants nothing to do with hockey players. She's focused on her career and nailing the promotion she's worked hard for. She also likes to have a little fun, but when the hot, bookish guy she brings home for a night turns out to be her brother's fiercest on-ice rival, all that work might be for nothing.Will "Cross" Lecroix is stuck in a city that hates him, doing a conditioning stint after an injury incurred during a fight, and a quick fling with a beautiful woman seems harmless enough. Not even twenty-four hours later, he's in the media spotlight sporting a bruised jaw and being asked if the rumor he spent the night with Erik Burke's sister is true.Making a split-second decision meant to save her reputation with her conservative boss, Will announces he and Kristen have been dating. With her promotion potentially at risk, she has no choice but to play along--and the playing part isn't bad at all. The more time they spend together, the more the line between pretend and real blurs, but Will's return to his team looms over them. As the clock runs out on their fake romance, they have to decide--is what they have the real thing, and is it worth the price they'll pay?
