The Fake Out by Stephanie Archer

Pretending to date the bad-boy hockey player should have been simple — if only the chemistry between them wasn’t so real.

The Fake Out follows Hazel Hartley, who needs a fake boyfriend fast after a humiliating breakup, and Rory Miller, the charming NHL player more than willing to step into the role. What starts as a convenient arrangement quickly spirals into late-night tension, undeniable attraction, and feelings neither of them planned for.

Stephanie Archer delivers a fun, steamy hockey romance packed with witty banter, emotional warmth, and swoony chemistry. Playful, heartfelt, and addictive, this romance perfectly balances fake-dating chaos with genuine emotional connection.

Perfect for readers who love:
• fake dating romance
• hockey romance
• witty banter and chemistry
• playful, swoony heroes
• spicy romantic comedies
