Ice Storm

When an injured hockey legend with a PR problem and a former teen star craving an edgier public image start a fake relationship, neither expects a real challenge-ignoring their fiery chemistry-in this steamy friends-to-lovers romance. Theo: They call me Thor. I'm the showman with mad skills on and off the ice until a nagging injury forces me to confront-long-term-the possibility that my career is coming to an early end.
All endorsement deals hinge on my reputation, and my bad-boy persona isn't cutting it. To keep my sponsorships, I need a major image overhaul. Enter Olivia DeLaurentis, the quintessential girl next door who's hell-bent on shedding her good-girl charade, and what better way than to get together with a rule-breaking Avenger wannabe? So she and I strike an agreement-we pretend-date. The odds of anything real happening between us are slim, especially since we're already friends and she's also my best friend's sister.
One problem: She turns me on, and I learn real fast that Liv is playing by her own rules. Olivia: I was a teenage America's Sweetheart, but what I once thought was the opportunity of a lifetime has left me typecast as an innocent, naïve girl-and I'm sick of it. My brother's best friend, bad-boy hockey star Theo Ture, needs some positive PR, so I offer a fake relationship. It's not my first. The difference? This time I'm in complete control.
What's there to lose? Certainly not my heart since Theo's already friend-zoned. Plus, the poster boy for an alpha male-bold, brash, tattooed-is not my type. At all. But there's one problem: I didn't expect the explosive chemistry between us, or the vulnerability behind his tough-guy façade. Or that he has a hidden secret I'm desperate to uncover. He's not the only one with secrets, though-and as the lines of our fake relationship blur, I'm worried I'll be the one exposed.
