Broken Stick. Boston Bucks, #11

When your best friend pretends to love you to help you win someone else.but he's the only one you've ever truly wanted. I asked my childhood friend Jaxon Sheffield-a hockey star who's sworn off relationships-to fake it for a little while. Just long enough to make the guy I thought I wanted to notice me. But I'm a reporter. I build stories. And Jaxon's been burned by reporters enough to swear he'd never trust one-especially not with his secrets.
When the plan worked, it should've ended there but I asked for more. Because the truth I've kept hidden?I've loved him forever. Now we're tangled in late-night touches and whispered promises that weren't part of the deal. He thinks this is just a game. But if they only knew. I'm risking the only relationship I can't live without. And if I lose him?It won't just break my heart-it'll mean I ruined the one thing that was never supposed to be fake.
