There's a reason you shouldn't fake date a friend-because the biggest mistake you'll ever make might just be falling for them... and NEVER ever wanting to let them go.Anna: As the assistant to the coach of the River City Renegades, my life is a whirlwind of schedules, crisis management, and saving the day when things go sideways.

So when the team's publicist decides Ollie Decker, my long-time friend and the Renegades' star defenseman, needs a fake girlfriend to boost his image, I volunteer. After all, it's just pretend, it pays, and who knows Ollie better than me? But as the lines blur, I start to realize there's more to Ollie-and us-than I ever let myself see.Ollie: Being on the ice is easy. Off the ice? Not so much. Apparently, I'm not "relatable" enough, and the team wants me to soften my tough guy image with a fake relationship. When Anna Denault offers to step in, I figure this'll be a breeze. But somewhere between staged date nights and late-night strategy sessions, I stop seeing Anna as just my rock and start noticing the spark that's been there all along.Now I'm wondering if the biggest risk of my career isn't losing her as a friend but losing her entirely.She could be the biggest mistake I've ever made…but also the only one I'll never regret._____________________________Faking the Face Off is a closed door hockey romcom that includes tropes like fake dating, friends to lovers, and found family.
