He's the captain everyone thinks they know. The one secret he's been protecting is five years old, has a stuffed otter named Mr. Pickle, and calls him Daddy.

I'm the journalist who tanked his rookie season.
And now I'm the only person standing between him and losing his daughter.

Five years ago, I sat across from a hungover rookie named Knox Maddox for the worst interview of my career. He walked out. I wrote the piece anyway. He's hated me ever since.

So when my editor hands me a redemption profile on the NHL's most reluctant captain, the assignment that will either save my magazine job or finish it, my answer is no. My answer is hell no. My answer becomes yes, because I want to keep my apartment.

What I do not expect, on a six a.m. follow at Garden North arena, is to watch Knox Maddox carry a tiny dark-haired girl into a pediatric urgent care. I do not expect to learn he has been a single father for three years and the entire press corps missed it. I do not expect his late wife's family to be suing him for full custody. And I really, truly do not expect a contract from his PR team that turns me into his public girlfriend for the next six weeks.

Fake dating. Fake suite jacket. Fake hand at the small of my back at the Banners gala.

Real five-year-old asking me to braid her hair.

Real captain learning to make pancakes without burning them, on a quiet morning, in a kitchen that does not feel quiet anymore.

Real, slow, devastating kiss on a porch in the dark.

We are not supposed to be a real thing. I am supposed to write the profile, walk away, and let him win the season and the custody case. But when a rival reporter unearths the old hit piece I wrote about Knox five years ago, the lie becomes a weapon, the courtroom becomes a battlefield, and the truth becomes the only thing that can keep that little girl with the man she belongs to.

Inside, you'll find:
A captain-energy hockey hero who is good in the bedroom and better at the dinner table.
A grumpy, broken, devoted single dad and the journalist who refuses to look away.
A fake-dating contract that becomes the most honest thing in both their lives.
A five-year-old in a stegosaurus costume who will steal every scene she's in.
A custody arc with real stakes and an earned, satisfying win.
A first kiss on a freezing porch and a reunion that will undo you.
A grand-gesture proposal through the glass after an overtime winner.
A lakeside epilogue, white lights in the trees, and a sequel hook for the team's best friend.

BLINDSIDE is a steamy, emotional, fake-dating hockey romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Open-door. Standalone with a series hook. Book one of the Boston Banners.

Perfect for readers who loved Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, Pucking Around by Emily Rath, Behind the Net by Stephanie Archer, Wildfire by Hannah Grace, Funny Story by Emily Henry, Powerless by Lauren Roberts only with skates, and any reader who closed Fourth Wing wishing the next thing on the nightstand had a single dad, a tiny daughter, and a captain who would burn down the league to keep them.

One last warning: clear your weekend.
