She swore she’d never touch a hockey stick again. Not after the boy she loved humiliated her on the ice in front of the whole school. But when Ryder Hayes, the new goalie with a criminal record, a reckless grin, and a habit of getting under her skin, asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend, she says yes… for one reason. He’ll help her win a scholarship that could change her life. The deal is simple: she teaches him how to handle the pressure of big games, and he pretends to be the perfect boyfriend in front of the cameras. But the closer they get, the harder it is to tell what’s fake and what’s not. And the more she learns about the secrets behind his smirk, the more dangerous this game becomes.

“Young lady, you need to control yourself. I don’t know what’s come over you, but I’m here to take care of you strictly as your doctor. I’m a dermatologist, and you have an allergy. So, please… stick to the plan.” Those were the firm, detached words of Dr. Nolan—one of the most famous dermatologists in all of Texas. His tone was calm, his eyes unreadable, his face hidden behind a face mask, he was nonchalant and couldn’t care less about her or mess with his patients. But for Aria, a 23-year-old who had never been in love, never even been kissed, the moment she stepped into his office her world shifted. One look at his tall figure, one brush of his deep voice, and her breath caught in her chest. Even without seeing his full face, she knew he was devastatingly handsome. For the first time in her life, her heart beat faster for a man. The test ended. The prescriptions were written. Aria gathered her courage and asked, “Can I have your contact?” His rejection was swift. Cold. “That won’t be possible.” Her heart sank as she walked out of the hospital, his indifference and cold voice pressing against her skin. But then her lips curved into a quiet, determined smile. “I will make you fall for me, Doctor.” And so begins the story of Aria and the nonchalant Dr. Nolan, a story of obsession, rejection, and irresistible temptation.

My name is Brandon Westin, and I'm Carlisle Grayson's secretary and secret lover. No matter how cold he acts toward me, how much he humiliates me, or how often he "lends" me off to other people, I still choose to stick with him without any remorse or complaints. His friends call me a shameless lapdog. Carlisle calls me a twink, often blaming me for "turning him gay" and thus ruining his life. However, when I finally choose to leave him, he looks at me with red-rimmed eyes and asks, "How can you say that you don't love me?"
