About this ebook

As a bookworm in rural Nova Scotia, a girl who always orbited the popular crowd, I craved acceptance. During my freshman year at Scotia Academy, I devised a plan to transform myself. 

My reinvention, however, leads to a chain of unsettling events, blurring the boundaries between my true self and the façade I've created.

When a baby unexpectedly appears outside my dorm room, I'm forced to live with my best friend's brother Kace Andrews—a notorious hockey player who loves all the puck bunnies.

Well, all the puck bunnies except for me.  

But soon enough, he begins to see beyond my disguise, which leads to soft kisses, tender touches and late nights between the sheets. We’re on a journey of self-discovery as we play house, but when a reckless mistake catches up with me, bringing up old hurts Kace can’t seem to outrun, I question whether our love is enough to help rebuild our shattered trust in a world consumed by betrayal. 

Ratings and reviews

Their budding relationship was interesting to watch. There's that push and pull with them. They were uncertain of things because of others butting in just added to the building angst with them. They were thrown into the fire so to speak There are a few things like fake relationships, forced proximity, slight grumpy sunshine, miscommunication, and seriously ridiculous people I wanted to throw down within this story. All of them added to the drama of the book and I enjoyed it!

This series simply keeps getting better and better! Each new book that comes along is my new favourite. This one has a surprise parcel that quickly changes and cements our couple together. Forced proximity brings everything out in the open. It is simply wonderful how Kace sees through Jemma’s act so quickly and easily, and falls in love with the women she is, not the person she thinks she needs to be. How Jemma gets Kace to open up and see things he has locked down in a different light.
