I agreed to fake date my hockey ex to save my dog rescue, and now the whole town thinks we’re a family.
I run a rescue, raise my son alone, and barely keep everything afloat.
So naturally, my hockey ex walks back into town.
Evan Blake. Suspended, infamous, and court-ordered to do community service.
The man who left once and never looked back, now working under my roof.
One photo of us together turns into a donation spike. Apparently people love a redemption arc, especially when it comes with rescue dogs and a cute kid.
To keep the funding, I agree to fake date him.
Staged smiles turn into late nights.
Pretend hand-holding turns into something I don’t pull away from.
And one accidental kiss changes everything.
The town believes it.
My son believes it.
And Evan starts acting like this isn’t fake.
Somewhere between pretending and surviving, I fall again…and then it hits.
Fake dating him is safe.
Loving him means risking that when Evan leaves, my son will be the one who pays the price.
Stuck With My Hockey Ex is a closed-door rom-com with fake dating, opposites-attract energy, grumpy-sunshine vibes, and a love story that refuses to stay pretend. All swoon, no spice.
