His Backup Plan

When Sloane Carter, a brilliant and fiercely independent NHL physical therapist, is forced into a high-stakes family scheme, she needs a shield-someone who can play the part of the perfect fiancé and protect her from her ex, her demanding parents, and the cutthroat world of sports medicine. Enter Marcus Gallagher, the Blizzards' reliable backup goalie, her best friend, and the one man who's always been more than he lets on. What starts as a fake engagement quickly ignites a passionate, undeniable connection neither of them can ignore.
With hearts on the line, secrets threatening to unravel, and a whirlwind weekend in Napa that could change everything, Sloane and Marcus must navigate desire, loyalty, and the risk of turning a plan into a lifetime of love. His Backup Plan is a sizzling, heart-tugging romance about friendship, family, and realizing that sometimes, the one who's been in the background all along is the only one worth standing beside.
