Face Off

He hates me for ruining his brother's life. Now I have to fake date the grumpy ex-Marine hockey captain to save my family's bar.



Nora Reyes never planned to return to Whispering Pines. Not after her explosive article destroyed her best friend's brother and turned the entire town against her.



But when her father's beloved hockey bar, The Pines, is 30 days from foreclosure, she has no choice. Back home, she finds the bar dying, the town still whispering her name, and Cole Kline - the 6'2" ex-Marine hockey captain and her brother's best friend - still furious.



Cole needs a fake girlfriend for a major sponsorship to save the local rink.

Nora needs a fake boyfriend to convince the bank her family's legacy is worth saving.



30 days. No kissing. No feelings. No falling in love.



But between 6 AM skating lessons, late-night bar renovations, meddling small-town gossip, and one unforgettable night in Vail with only one bed... the lines between fake and real begin to blur.

- Fake Dating + Brother's Best Friend
