He’s my brother’s best friend…
my first crush…
and now my fake fiancé.

He was never supposed to touch me.
Now I’m carrying his baby.

Dax Dalton—ex-hockey legend, billionaire playboy… and my brother’s best friend.

The one man I was never supposed to want.

He kissed me once in high school.

I never recovered.

He clearly did.

I haven’t seen him in eight years… until a snowstorm strands me and he’s the one who finds me.

Rescues me.

I’d almost rather freeze.

Now he needs a favor.

A fake fiancée to clean up his scandal-plagued reputation.

My brother swears it’s harmless.

Dax would never touch his little sister.

The deal comes with a diamond ring…
and a check big enough to change everything.

My car.
My debt.
My future.

So I say yes.

Pretending should be easy.

Pretend kisses.
Staged dinners.
Carefully controlled boundaries.

None of it feels fake.

And one reckless night changes everything.

Now I’m carrying his baby…

and falling for the one man I was never supposed to have.

The thing about Dax Dalton?

He always gets what he wants.

The only question is—

does he want me?
