Puck Promise: A Hockey Romance With Fake Dating, Pro-tective Hero, And One Bed

One fake relationship. One impossible promise. One bed that changes everything.

Ellie Brooks has one rule: never mix business with professional hockey players.
As the event planner for the River City Blades Foundation, her job is to keep charity galas running—not become the headline. But when her ex corners her at a high-profile fundraiser, star defenseman Luca Moretti steps in to protect her. One photograph. One viral rumor. Suddenly, the entire sports world believes they're the league's newest power couple.
For Luca, fake dating Ellie is the perfect way to silence the media after a public controversy.
For Ellie, bringing hockey's most eligible bachelor to her sister's engagement dinner is the perfect way to survive awkward family questions—and prove she's completely over the man who broke her heart.
The arrangement is simple.
Three weeks.
No emotional attachment.
No falling in love.
And absolutely no sharing a bed.
Too bad life has other plans.
Between team events, endless cameras, jealous exes, family expectations, road trips, and one hotel reservation with only a single bed left, pretending becomes harder than either of them expected.
Because every stolen glance feels real.
Every protective touch lingers too long.
And every fake kiss leaves them wanting something neither of them agreed to.
Luca has spent his life protecting everyone except himself.
Ellie has spent years convincing herself she'll never trust another promise.
But when the line between pretend and forever disappears, they'll have to decide whether the greatest risk is falling in love... or walking away.
