Talk about mixed doubles... Justin's ex is on the executive team for the pickleball tournament series he’s hosting. And she’s bringing her new celebrity boyfriend on the tour. He needs a doubles partner off the court—stat. Enter Sam: prickly, private, and the last person you’d expect to agree to fake date anyone. But she’s got a killer poker face, a solid paddle grip, and zero interest in real romance. Which makes her the perfect fake girlfriend. The plan? Keep it casual. Fake some chemistry. Win the tournament—and the breakup optics.

Jack Midnight returns to Dark River with his racing career on the line. One viral scandal has his sponsor doubting him and his future in Formula One slipping away.

He's loved her since childhood; one fake date might finally make it real. I was 15 years old when I stood on a hill in a peach orchard with the girl of my dreams, contemplating marriage. Now I'm a hockey star, The Maverick Murphy. I have flow on the ice and on my head, but I still have trouble forming sentences when she's around.

My cocky next-door neighbor is the most infuriating person in the world—so why did I just hook up with him? Although we pretty much grew up together, we've never managed to get along. I guess he's good-looking, with his baby-blue eyes, amazing hockey-player physique, and boyish smile . . . if you're into that. Which I'm totally not.

It started with a crush. The best stories always do. Our story sounds predictable, short-lived, and destined for failure. Lincoln Beckett is the star wide receiver at Brighton University—smart, funny, and, like many would guess, heartbreak shines in his dark eyes and is etched across his jaw. He's popular, a guaranteed draft pick, and, worst of all, my brother's best friend. I tried not to like him. I have an entire list of reasons. Reasons that have become my rules for dating. Rules that Lincoln continues bending.

It was supposed to be simple. Fake date campus hockey royalty to make my long-time crush look my way. Enter Kieran O’Connor—star winger and campus legend. Devastating good looks. Cocky dialed to eleven. The kind of guy who always gets what he wants. He needs help passing a class. I need a fake boyfriend. We make a deal. I write the rules in permanent marker: no touching, no kissing, no feelings. But Kieran O’Connor doesn’t do rules. His grin is a blade. His hands? Pure trouble. Somewhere between late-night problem sets and his number stretched across my shoulders, I forget we’re pretending.

Kitty Valentine used to be that girl—rom-com royalty with a #1 bestseller and a string of swoonworthy novels. But now? Her latest book flopped harder than a bad Tinder date, and her editor says it's time to spice things up … like, a lot. The problem? Kitty is more vanilla latte than spicy marg.

But with her bank account ghosting her and her royalties in a situationship with rock bottom, desperate times call for creative (unhinged?) measures. Enter the Hot Guy Dating Wheel—courtesy of her BFF and a bottle of rosé.

Hating Patterson Cross is easy. Keeping my hands off him? Not so much. He’s my ex-fiancé’s identical twin brother, my father’s star hockey player, and the man I’ve despised for years.

As the team’s publicist, I desperately need a football player to be the face of our charity calendar.

Still, I’m dedicated to my job, so I'll stick to my iron-clad rule—don't date a player. And never ever fall for one. No matter how charming, big-hearted and devilishly clever the man is.
