Sports Romance

Paper Vows

She fixes problems for a living. He just became the one problem she can't file under "handled."

Isla Cameron is the Edinburgh hockey club's unflappable fixer — the woman who solves what the front office pretends doesn't exist. So when a lapsed permit leaves Cole Tremblay, the Canadian star she personally vouched for, days from deportation, she offers the only fast, legal fix nobody upstairs will sign off on: marry him. Strictly logistics. Strictly to stop the clock.

Then the Home Office flags the marriage as a sham and schedules an interview, and suddenly they're sharing one flat, one bed, and a rehearsed history built from toothbrushes and invented inside jokes — until the performance of closeness stops feeling like acting. But the fraud that could end Cole's career would obliterate hers, and when a rival threatens to leak the whole arrangement on the eve of his debut, Cole decides to fall on the sword alone. Isla built this marriage to protect a transaction. Now the only way to keep everything she loves is to admit the vow they faked became real.

A steamy, high-heat marriage-of-convenience hockey romance novella. Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Chloe Liese.
