Stick Tease: An Enemies to Lovers Fake Dating Hockey Romance (The Miami Blazers Series)

One impulsive kiss at a Miami bar just made fashion influencer Jessica Brooks the most talked-about woman in professional hockey — and she didn't even mean to do it.

When a persistent creep wouldn't take no for an answer, Jessica grabbed the nearest attractive stranger and planted one on him. Problem solved. Except the stranger turns out to be Cole Mercer, captain of the Miami Blazers, and now their very public lip-lock is breaking the internet.

Cole has exactly zero interest in a gorgeous, quick-witted blonde disrupting his playoff focus. He built his reputation on discipline, control, and keeping everyone at arm's length — and he plans to keep it that way. But his PR team has other ideas. Jessica's wholesome influencer brand paired with Cole's ice-cold image is a goldmine for the charitable foundation he's been fighting to fund. All they have to do is pretend.

Simple enough. Until it isn't.

She moves in. He pushes back. She pushes harder. Between late-night conversations that last longer than either of them planned and a tension that crackles every time they're in the same room, Cole's carefully constructed walls are starting to crack — and Jessica is starting to wonder if what she's feeling is still just part of the act.

This steamy, laugh-out-loud hockey romance proves that sometimes the best relationships start with the worst possible circumstances — and the realest feelings are the ones you never saw coming.
