After my divorce, I swore off dating.

No commitments, no complications—just a clean, quiet life.

So when I’m assigned to fix Kaden Crawford—the grumpy hockey star with a reputation as the league’s biggest PR disaster—I’m determined to keep things strictly professional.

But Kaden has a knack for creating chaos.

The solution?

Staging a fake relationship to save his reputation.

My answer should’ve been a hard “no.” But somehow, I’m tangled up in his mess—sharing staged kisses, dodging cameras, and trying to ignore the sparks we can’t control.

The plan was simple: clean up his image and move on.

But the more we fake it, the messier it all becomes.

The line between real and pretend is blurring, and I’m risking everything for a man I swore I’d never fall for.

Faking The Shot is the first book in the Crawford Family Playbook series, featuring a determined divorcee publicist rebuilding her life—one play at a time—while facing off against a grumpy hockey player who’s more trouble than he’s worth… or so she thinks.
