A fake fiancé hockey rom-com with steam, sass, and serious heart

Cam “The Hitman” Murphy is the NHL’s biggest bruiser, a championship-winning enforcer for the St. Pete Slashers, and hockey’s reigning bad boy heartthrob. At least, that’s what the billboards say. In real life? He’s more cinnamon roll than scandal—soft-hearted, vintage-band-tee-wearing, and quietly collecting the world’s weirdest sock drawer. The only thing he’s ever been reckless about is her.

Lana Decker is the Slashers’ sharp-tongued team publicist, hockey royalty, and the woman who turned Cam into the league’s sexiest playboy… strictly for marketing purposes, of course. There’s just one tiny problem: that carefully crafted image might cost Cam a once-in-a-lifetime sneaker deal—and maybe his last shot at proving he’s more than a hot body in skates.

The solution? A fake engagement.

The catch? His fiancée has to be Lana.

One steamy college night. A million lingering what-ifs. And a decade-old pact never to speak of it again—especially since her older brother is Cam’s teammate and best friend.

It was supposed to be one awards show, a few staged smiles, and zero real feelings.

Then her family shows up.

Then there’s the beach house in Siesta Key.

Then there’s the shared bedroom.

Then… oops.

Now they’re faking a relationship that feels a little too real, dodging the media, team drama, and one extremely suspicious big brother—all while trying (and failing) to ignore the fact that the guy the whole world wants might just be hopelessly in love with the one woman he was never supposed to have.

Cold Feet is a slow-burn, laugh-out-loud, melt-your-kindle hockey rom-com full of longing, banter, fake dating, forbidden feels, and second chances. Perfect for fans of Icebreaker, Pucked, The Deal, and The Hating Game.
