Fake dating a hockey player for Christmas wasn't on my bingo card. Clare Johnson's job is handling PR for the Dallas Stampede, not getting tangled up with one of the players. But when Mitchell Drake charming forward, fan favorite, and very off-limits asks her to pose as his girlfriend for one week in small-town Minnesota, she reluctantly agrees. What's the worst thing that could happen? Mitchell's had six months to get over his very public broken engagement, and his family is done waiting. The last thing he needs is pitying smiles and whispered gossip. Clare is smart, sharp, and strong enough to hold her own with both fans and family the perfect fake girlfriend. But holiday lights and snowy nights have a way of blurring the line between pretend and real. Clare fits too easily into his world, bonding with his grandma, winning pond hockey, and looking unfairly good in his flannel. The more time they spend together, the less fake it feels.--
