Rule #3: Never Fake Marry the Coach's Son
Oskar
Three years of pining, and my straight crush shows up needing a husband.
When NHL star Dmitri Volkov bursts into my apartment needing a green card marriage, I should say no. He’s my father's most troublesome player. He’s the team's notorious bad boy. He's definitely straight.
I’ve also been in love with him for three years.
So I say yes. Obviously.
Next thing I know he’s flying me to Vegas, and I’m marrying the man who's been starring in my fantasies since the day he arrived from Russia. My father, the team's head coach, will lose his mind when he finds out.
Now I just need to pretend to the world that we’re madly in love and pretend to Dmitri that I’m totally not.
Tropes: Green card marriage · Vegas wedding · friends to lovers · bi awakening · coach's son · one-sided pining · fake relationship · marriage of convenience · Russian hero · forbidden romance

About Portia Blake
Portia writes MM hockey romances about men who make life decisions most people manage to avoid--accidental marriages, fake relationships, coparenting with rivals--then become love-obsessed maniacs. She lives within walking distance of a hockey arena, where she absolutely does not stalk the players. Obviously.
