He’s on edge. She’s en pointe. And neither of them expected to fall in love.
From the author of the smash hit Collide comes a swoony fake-dating sports romance perfect for fans of The Striker by Ana Huang.
Newly drafted hockey star Elias Westbrook is struggling with the pressures of fame and relentless media attention. Every move he makes is headline material — including the women he’s seen with — when all he really wants is a little peace away from the spotlight.
Sage Beaumont is an aspiring ballerina chasing her big break. But in a world where online popularity can make or break careers, her lack of visibility is holding her back. When an opportunity arises to fake-date Elias and boost both their profiles, she takes the leap.
What starts as a simple arrangement quickly blurs into something real. As the rules they set begin to unravel, Sage and Elias must decide if they’re ready to risk their hearts — or walk away before it all goes too far.
Filled with delicious tension, heartfelt moments and irresistible chemistry, this is a romance that will sweep you off your feet.
