Breakout

Peyton

After a rough childhood, trust doesn't come easy. Even with my friends, I keep them at arms distance.

Until him.

Beckett Hayes. Star player on the Walker University hockey team.

Somehow he slips past my defense and makes a home as my situationship.

I should tell him it's over, but before I can, a long lost relative with an inheritance comes crashing into my life. There's only one catch. I have to be married, sending my situationship into a full blown marriage of convenience.

Will I be able to keep my new husband at arms length or will he use those defensive skills to burrow into my heart?

Beckett

Hockey has always been a safe haven for me. Something that is only mine without the expectations that come with being a Hayes.

That is until I met her.

Peyton Anderson.

She is everything I never knew I wanted, yet the one woman I can't truly have. She has her walls built up so high, I don't think even the most seasoned climbers could survive it.

When she gets an ultimatum and needs a fake husband, I'm right there willing to offer myself up as a sacrifice.

Afterall, a fake marriage is only a thin line from becoming real and I am willing to put it all on the line to get what I want.
