HE’S THE NHL’S FUTURE. I’M THE SCANDAL THAT COULD RUIN HIM. AND I JUST BLACKMAILED HIM INTO BEING MY FAKE BOYFRIEND.
Cole "The Silencer" Kincaid.
He’s 6’5’ of brooding, bruised muscle and bad attitude. He’s the Captain of the Blackwood Bears, the son of a legend, and he hates three things: The press, distractions, and me.
Especially me.
I’m the new Media Liaison tasked with "humanizing" the scariest man on campus. He told me to stay out of his way or he’d end my career.
But then I caught him on camera doing something he shouldn't.
Now, the silent king of the ice has to do exactly what I say.
Danielle West.
I’m a marketing nerd with a camera, a scholarship I can’t afford to lose, and a secret: I’ve never been touched. Not really.
I need content to save my job. Cole needs a fake girlfriend to clean up his image.
The deal was simple: He gives me the views, I keep his secrets.
But when a snowstorm traps us in a hotel room, the lines blur.
I found out the "Silencer" isn't quiet in the bedroom.
He found out I’m not as innocent as I look.
We’re playing a dangerous game. If his father finds out, Cole loses the draft. If the school finds out, I lose my degree.
But the way he looks at me when the cameras are off?
That’s the only thing that feels real.
I ASKED THE GRUMPIEST MAN ON CAMPUS FOR SEX LESSONS. NOW I’M CARRYING HIS BABY.
Barry "The Bear" Kowalski is six-foot-five of pure, bearded hostility. As the Captain of the North Haven Ice Wolves, he’s terrifying, silent, and obsessed with one thing: making the NHL. He doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t do "nice." And he definitely doesn’t let anyone see the man beneath the pads who knits hats for his niece and carries the weight of the world on his bruised shoulders. To him, I’m just "Numbers"—the annoying analyst telling him how to do his job.
I’m Naomi Clarke, the girl who organizes her spice rack alphabetically and treats intimacy like a math problem I can’t solve. I’m twenty-two, a virgin, and desperate to get over my fear of the unknown before I graduate. I need a teacher. Someone experienced. Someone who won’t catch feelings because he finds me utterly intolerable. Statistically speaking, Barry is the perfect candidate.
The deal was simple: I fix his defensive stats so he gets drafted, and he fixes my "experience gap." No kissing. No feelings. Just friction. But I forgot to account for the variables. I didn't expect the way his hands would feel on my waist. I didn't expect the praise whispered against my neck. And I definitely didn't expect the two pink lines on a stick three weeks before he leaves for Detroit.
Now I have to make a choice. Tell him the truth and ruin his dream, or break my own heart to set him free. The data says we’re a disaster waiting to happen. But for the first time in my life, I’m hoping the math is wrong.
