Sophie Hart only wanted to prove to her cheating ex that she had moved on. So when she accidentally claims she is dating his younger brother, hockey superstar Ethan Carter, she expects him to hate her. Instead, Ethan offers her a deal: fake-date him to save his reputation, and he will help her make her ex jealous. The rules are simple—no real feelings, no kissing, and no falling in love. But pretending to be Ethan’s girlfriend soon feels dangerously real, and Sophie realizes the one man she was never supposed to fall for might be the man she can’t live without.

Fake dating my ex’s Hockey-star Brother Chapter 5
The First Rule We BreakSophie’s PovMy heart hammers against my ribs like a trapped bird beating its wings in the dark.I stand frozen in the cold concrete hallway of the hockey arena, staring at Ethan after he pulls away. The ghost of his breath is still warm on my skin, and my lips practically ache from how close we came to crossing the line.We agreed there would be no kissing.Those words echo in my head over and over again like a warning bell, but they sound completely hollow now. The truth is, standing there in the shadows with the giant stadium looming around us, I did not want him to step back. I wanted him to close that final inch. I wanted to know what it felt like to forget about Ryan, to forget about the rules, and to just lose myself in Ethan’s strong arms."Right," I whisper, swallowing hard as I press my back against the chilly wall to put some safe distance between us. "The rules. Good thing you remembered them."Ethan runs a hand through his damp hair, his chest stil

Too CloseEthan’s PovThe sound of Ryan slamming his palms down on our restaurant table is loud enough to make the crystal glasses rattle."You can’t seriously be dating my ex," Ryan snarls, his face twisting into an ugly, furious mask. Spit actually flies from his mouth, and his new fiancée clings to his arm like a frightened little bird, looking around to see if anyone else is watching their childish meltdown.I do not even blink. I keep my expression cool, calm, and completely unbothered, leaning back in my chair while letting my arm drape lazily over the back of Sophie’s seat. My fingers brush gently against her warm shoulder, and I feel her tense up beside me."Try to keep your voice down, little brother," I say smoothly, giving him a lazy, mocking smile that I know drives him crazy. "People are trying to eat. And to answer your dumb question? Yes, I am dead serious."Ryan’s chest heaves up and down like he has just run a marathon. He glares at Sophie, his eyes practically shooti

The DealSophie’s PovMy jaw drops so fast it almost hits the floor."Have you completely lost your mind, Ethan Carter?" I shout into the phone, clutching it so tightly my fingers ache. "Stop pretending this was an accident? We made the whole thing up because I panicked! We cannot just keep dating!""Listen to me, Sophie," Ethan’s deep voice comes back through the speaker, calm and steady, completely ignoring my panic. "My sponsors are threatening to cancel my contracts because they think I am too wild and angry on the ice. But when they saw those pictures of us, they loved it. They think I am finally settling down. If we keep this up for the rest of the hockey season, my career is saved. And as a bonus, Ryan will never bother you again. Everyone will believe you are completely over him."I freeze. I bite my lower lip so hard I can taste the metallic tang of salt. He is right about Ryan. Last night at the gala, for the first time since our breakup, Ryan looked at me and felt defeated

My Ex’s BrotherMy blood runs hot and cold all at the same time.Across the glittering, noisy room, Sophie Hart is staring right at me like a deer caught in the headlights. A second ago, she was trapped by my brother Ryan and his awful new fiancée. A second ago, she looked like she was about to cry. But now? Now she has just thrown a grenade right into the middle of the ballroom, and the pin with my name on it is rolling across the floor.Ethan.That is what she told Ryan. That we are together.My feet move before my brain can even catch up. The floorboards feel like ice beneath my heavy leather shoes as I march across the room. People scatter out of my way. Ryan is standing there with his mouth hanging open, while Sophie stands beside him with her hands clenched so tightly into fists her knuckles are practically glowing.I grab Sophie gently by the elbow and pull her away from the crowd, dragging her toward a quiet, empty hallway near the back exit where the waiters store their trays
