Nerdy girls like me don’t stand a chance with hunky, billionaire hockey gods. Yet I’m dating one. And even though it’s a fake relationship, it sure doesn’t feel fake under the covers. I’ve never forgotten that deliriously sizzling night I met Noah Harrington. He rescued me from a wilderness car crash, and our physical connection alone electrified his cabin. He told me he'd never been married. But then I saw his wedding photos. No need sticking around for a liar. Years later, my brother gets me a job with his hockey team. And surprise. I meet his best friend, the team star: Noah, ...

Dave Hill—author, actor, rock musician and stand-up comedian—is a truly outstanding American. For one thing, he's part Canadian (an advantage he explored in his previous book Parking the Moose). For another, and maybe this has something to do with his Canadian heritage, he's a totally obsessive fan of hockey.

I broke my #1 rule and slept with the girl next door. Now, my usually guarded heart is skating on thin ice. New city, new NHL team, same dating rules: no doubling back. I learned the hard way after heartbreak that one and done is my MO. Then Emery, a past one-night-stand, moves in next door. I can't stop obsessing about her legs wrapped around my head again. I propose a friends-with-benefits arrangement and to my delight, she agrees. Passions explode and boundaries blur as I re-explore every inch of her curvy body.

The new nanny ends up in my bed the first night, and something tells me she is different from all the rest. Her rocking body and sensual lips keep me coming back for more.

By the time he was twenty-two years old, goaltender Corey Hirsch had realized his childhood dream of playing in the NHL, won an Olympic medal and drunk from the Stanley Cup. While he excelled on the ice, out of the net Hirsch was plagued by persistent dark thoughts and ceaseless anxiety.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1972, MONTREAL FORUM, GAME ONE: The best against the best for the first time. Canada, the country that had created the game; the Soviet Union, having taken it up only twenty-six years earlier.

So began an entirely improbable, near-month-long series of games that became more and more riveting, until, for the eighth, and final, and deciding game—on a weekday, during work and school hours all across the country—the nation stopped.

Add one cocky hockey god, one feisty female, and many emotions left unsaid. Stir together in a fake engagement of convenience. Stand back… Max I’d never missed a beat when it came to women and hockey. But all my usuals fell by the wayside that night. I never intended to seduce Hailey Rogers, my best friend’s off-limits sister. Hey, that was a bro-code violation. But she was sizzling perfection, so I pulled her body in and took her—and her V-card.
