He needs a reputation rescue. She needs revenge on her ex. What could go wrong?

Cooper “Coop” Hudson has two problems: the video of him punching a wealthy donor has gone viral, and no one knows he was defending a woman from assault. Now sponsors are bailing, his father (the team GM) is furious, and the PR team has one desperate solution—find a wholesome girlfriend to rehabilitate his “bad boy” image.

Enter Savannah Burke.

Recently dumped and tired of being the woman men use until they don’t need her anymore, Sav agrees to the fake relationship for her best friend’s job—and maybe to make her ex a little jealous. Six weeks of pretending to date a tattooed hockey player? She can handle that.

What she can’t handle is Coop being nothing like she expected.

Beneath the cocky grin and headline-grabbing reputation is a man who secretly reads to kids at hospitals, whose famous father never believed in him, and who’s spent his whole life being left by everyone he loves.

As their fake relationship starts feeling dangerously real, Sav faces an impossible choice: protect her heart or fight for the man everyone else has given up on.

But when the truth about the scandal finally surfaces, it might destroy them both.

Pucking the Fake Girlfriend is book 3 in the New York Fury Hockey Series. Each book in this series features different characters and can be read as standalones, though interconnected through the vibrant world of professional hockey—including fan-favorite characters from the Boston Titans series.

Tropes you’ll love: fake dating, bad boy with a heart of gold, opposites attract, he falls first, misunderstood hero, contract romance, and a “bad boy” who proves that reputation means nothing when you find the right person.
