I’ve had a problem at work since the day Ren Bergman joined the team: a six foot three hunk of happy with a sunshine smile. I just hope that when she leaves the team and I tell her how I feel, she won’t want to leave me behind, too. Frankie won’t be here forever-she’s headed for bigger, better things. I’m a player on the team, she’s on staff, and as long as we work together, dating is off-limits. Deadpan delivery, secret heart of gold, and a rare one-dimpled smile that makes my knees weak, Frankie has been forbidden since the day she and I became coworkers, meaning waiting has been the name of my game-besides, hockey, that is. I'll fake a friendship with Ziggy, fix my reputation, and get back to hockey.The moment I met her, I knew Frankie Zeferino was someone worth waiting for. But I reassure myself there's no risk in our scheme. Up till now, I've stayed away from Ren's little sister to avoid any risk of ruining my one good friendship. So when Ziggy proposes a public "friendship" to revamp our reputations, it's an offer I can't refuse. My hockey career and sponsorships are in jeopardy, and while I'm not ready to reform my ways, I'm happy to pretend that I have, to secure the life I'm on the brink of losing.
Sebastian: I've been spiraling downward, and finally I've hit rock bottom. He's my devious, dark-haired fantasy come to life, but his destructive ways make it easy to keep him in the (fake) friend zone. So I propose a fake friendship with real benefits: spending time in the public eye, my good-girl image and his bad-boy notoriety rubbing off on each other. Which is where my brother's best friend and teammate, Sebastian, comes in. Ziggy: I'm the youngest player on the National Soccer team, the baby of my family, and sick of being underestimated, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands.
