Trick Shot by Lyssa Lemire

When I need a fake fiancée, my best friend Abby seems like the safe choice. But I should have known there’s nothing more dangerous than pretending to love your best friend – after you realize pretending isn’t enough.
There’s a lot that makes me one of a kind. Being the best defensive player in college hockey. My status as a local celebrity and campus superstar. My massive frame that makes me tower over even the other guys on the team. And, of course, my English accent all the American girls swoon for.
I’ve always been proud of hailing from across the pond. But now a mix-up with my visa threatens to get me deported, killing the dream of professional hockey that I’ve worked so hard for.
But if immigration believes I’m about to get married to a US citizen, they might let me stay. That’s where Abby comes in.
I know I can trust her. I can trust her to say yes. I can trust her to put on the act. I can trust her to keep the secret.
But as we’re living in close quarters day after day, as I struggle to keep my eyes from lingering on her luscious curves, as I get used to waking up with her body warming our bed, as her laughter ringing off the walls of our crappy apartment becomes my daily soundtrack … I’m not sure I can trust myself – not to fall in love, for real.
