Summary

Falling in love with a prince isn’t like the fairytales. Madeleine Vickers has found that out the hard way through private dates, a shag pad funded by NDAs, and being unable to touch her man in public. Her eyes are wide open, yet she’s still blindsided when she discovers that her secret boyfriend has become not-so-secretly engaged to someone else. As if that’s not humiliating enough, the queen is demanding she attend the wedding to convince everyone they were only ever friends. Cameron Cormier is a top scorer in the NHL, both on and off the ice. After a scandal involving his former linemate’s girlfriend, he’s embraced his ‘bad boy’ image. When you consistently lead the league in points, outside noise doesn’t matter, right? Wrong — at least according to his coach, who’s refusing to give Cam a captaincy role unless he proves he can take something seriously. Neither Maddie nor Cam is interested in a new relationship, but a fake one…? Maddie will spare herself the embarrassment of attending her ex’s wedding alone and Cam will show he’s capable of settling down. To keep the boundaries clear while they're living under the same roof, they're trying their very hardest (okay, not that hard) to keep the touching for their fake dates only. But with a blossoming friendship and crazy attraction to each other, it’s only a matter of time before it’s not just the public they’re fooling…
