The Fake Out: A Vancouver Storm Novel

An NHL staffer gets revenge on her ex by fake dating his rival teammate--but soon discovers her very real feelings in this fiery hockey romance from the viral TikTok author of Behind the Net and The Wingman.

The best way for Hazel Hartley, physiotherapist for the Vancouver Storm hockey team, to get back at her horrible ex? Fake date his new teammate, Rory Miller: her ex's rival, the top scorer in the league, and the arrogant, flirtatious hockey player she tutored in high school.

Faking it with Rory is fun and addictive, though, and beneath the bad boy swagger, Rory's sweet, funny, and protective. He teaches Hazel to skate and spends way too much money on her. He sleeps in her bed and convinces her to break her one-time-only hookup rule. He teases her with a nickname and tells her his secrets.

Hockey players are only as faithful as their options, but after seeing the other side of Rory, she might be starting to trust this one.

It's all for show, but when Rory kisses her like it's real, Hazel starts to wonder . . .

Was he ever faking it to begin with?
