One broken heart. One winning bid at a date auction. One hot, grumpy hockey player.
What could go wrong?
According to my best friends, five months is too long to nurse a broken heart. Theyre determined to push me out of my nest made of sweatpants and sadness. I need to date; they say. They have the perfect plan; they say.
Maddox Graves is the star center of the Minnesota Rogues, and hes every womans fantasy. Tall, dark, and broody, hes the guy you picture when youre home alone enjoying some self-care. And after my friends win a date with him at a charity auction, hes all mine for one night.
Its supposed to be a fun way to get back into the swing of dating. No pressure, no expectations, and absolutely no chance it will lead to anything more.
Its perfect.
Or it would be, if Maddox Graves wasnt an insufferable, self-absorbed mother-pucker.
Im just an English teacher, but he thinks Im a puck bunny after his money and fame. I think hes just another rich prick with an over-inflated ego. One whos using me and this date for a publicity stunt.
Which is why Im so surprised when he agrees to do something selfless to help me and my students. Only one tiny string attached.
I won the date auction, but will Maddox Graves manage to win my heart?
