Bluegrass Bluff

Some exes deserve a second chance. Others deserve a well-crafted lie.

Brenna Quinn has spent years proving herself in the world of professional hockey, carving out her place as the sharp-witted, no-nonsense Executive Assistant for the Bluegrass Blades. But when Logan Ashford-the ex who broke her heart-joins the team, her carefully built walls start to crack. Worse, she's expected to play nice and help him settle in.

Landon Reid, the Blades' relentless defenseman and resident flirt, has been after Brenna for years, always with a joke and a cocky grin. She's never taken him seriously, but when she shows up at the bar looking for an escape, Landon sees his chance. One overheard conversation, one reckless idea, and suddenly, they have a plan-fake date to throw Logan off his game.

It's just an act. Just a way to keep Logan from thinking he still has a shot. But as the lines between pretend and real start to blur, Brenna has to ask herself: Is she still playing defense, or has Landon slipped right past her guard?

Because in a game of love and lies, the hardest thing to do is tell the truth.
