The Cupcake Cottage

<p><strong><em>A best friends to lovers hockey romance.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>My coach is playing matchmaker.</p><p><br></p><p>And that's a problem because I work with this beautiful and distracting woman.</p><p><br></p><p>Also she's my best friend's ex making her very off limits.</p><p><br></p><p>I also might be crushing on her. Hard.</p><p><br></p><p>That's a hat trick of reasons to say no. But if I don't follow coach's playbook on and off the ice I'll be benched. Kind of like my heart. If I say yes to this fake-dating plan...well it could save my reputation (nice guy wrong place wrong time etc. etc.) as well as get me those deals I so desperately need. It could even help out my teammates who've worked too darn hard to have their captain trash it all because he's afraid to fake it with his friend.</p><p><br></p><p>To hold her hand.</p><p><br></p><p>To kiss her in front of the cameras.</p><p><br></p><p>To show her how she should be truly treated by a boyfriend-pampered and cherished.</p><p><br></p><p>And maybe to show her how I really feel...</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>Laugh cry and fall in love along with these two meant-to-be characters as they stumble their way toward true love. This sweet romance is set in the same charming small town world as Jean Oram's The Cowboys of Sweetheart Creek Texas series. Enjoy! (These are slow burn closed door hockey romances.)</em></strong></p>
