A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought. One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work.

He doesn't realize how much stands in our way. How little I have to give. And neither of us expects the two pink lines connecting us forever.

Ash: I still don't know how it happened. One minute, I was arguing with my arrogant competitor - our usual trash-talk over who deserves the larger commission.

I knew right then and there that she was lying to me, and that sexy as hell or not, she was the type of woman I needed to avoid.
