Scoring Chance

Totally fake marriage. Very real feelings.

When my hockey teammate, the recently widowed Tanner Chance, loses his job, leaving him and his four kids with no medical coverage, I suggest a wild idea: get married and put his family on my company's insurance plan.

It's supposed to be a marriage on paper only. But this being a small town, our nuptials accidentally go public. Now, we have to play house in order to make this scheme believable.

Suddenly, I'm trading my swanky highrise for a cramped split-level and refereeing sibling squabbles while attempting to make a meatloaf.

Goodbye bottomless mimosas. Hello bottomless piles of laundry.

I'm also sharing a bed with my closest friend, the one guy I promised myself I'd never cross a line with...and using all my willpower to keep that promise.

The more time I spend married to Tanner, the harder it is to remember what's fake. Because every time he smiles at me, every time he calls me his husband, it feels a little too real.

If our ruse is exposed, I could lose not just my career, but the man and family I never knew I wanted.

Scoring Chance is a single dad, friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience MM romance. It's book 2 in The Comebacks series, about a team of former hockey champions recapturing their magic (and finding love) in a local amateur league-but it can be read as a standalone. Whether they win or lose, there's always a post-game beer.
