Retirement looms on the horizon, threatening to strip away the only identity Ive ever known—hockey player. As I gear up for my final Cup run, the last thing I need is a distraction. But thats exactly what I get when I impulsively marry Ada, a beautiful stranger, in Vegas. It was supposed to be a one-time act of rebellion, a way to stick it to my ex. Instead, I find myself drawn to Adas warmth and her crazy family in ways I never expected. Now, as I navigate the end of my career and confront the ghosts of my past, Im faced with a choice: cling to the life Ive always known, or take a chance on a future I never dared to imagine.

Ive always been the odd one out in my family—the one who couldnt settle down, who chose her independence over finding a husband. But when I marry Hux on a whim in Las Vegas, I inadvertently give my family exactly what they wanted. Its all pretend, of course. Until it isnt. As I get to know the man behind the tough hockey player exterior, I find myself falling for real. But with Huxs career ending and my own business taking off, can we push through the complications and make this unexpected union work? Or will the pressures of our separate worlds pull us apart before we have a chance to discover if what we have is truly love?
