He saved me once. Now I’m living under his roof, cooking his meals… and pretending to be his girlfriend.

Callum Russell isn’t just the star of Oak Ridge State’s top-ranked hockey team—he'''s the campus heartthrob with NHL blood running through his veins and a body built to break hearts.
But to me?
He’s the guy who stepped in when my abusive father showed up freshman year.
The guy who offered me a safe place to stay when I had nowhere to go.
And now, the guy I can’t stop fantasizing about—even though I know I shouldn't.
When his clingy ex and matchmaking mother make his life a living hell, Callum proposes something wild: fake date me to get them off his back.
Only problem?
We already live together. We already share late-night talks, home-cooked meals, and stolen glances.
And pretending not to love him?
It’s getting harder by the day.
But what happens when the lies start to feel real?
When the kisses get heated, the nights get steamy, and our fake relationship leads to real obsession?
It’ll be hard to keep our hearts locked away.
