Perfect for fans of sitcoms like New Girl and/or Friends!
False Play
Henry Anderson has always been the league’s favorite bad boy—cocky, ridiculously talented, and never one to back down from a fight. But when a brutal on-ice brawl puts his career on the line, his only shot at redemption lies in the hands of Kennedy, one of the team’s Senior PR Specialists, who can’t stand him… and who just so happens to be the woman he’s had a thing for since she first walked into the arena years ago.
Kennedy Jones’ personal life is a mess. She thought she’d be in a very different place by now, but she’s focused on one thing: fixing Henry’s image and getting him back in the team’s good graces. That is, until a tabloid article drops with out-of-context photos and bold claims that they’re dating as a desperate PR stunt. Now? They need a plan. Fast.
He has to clean up his act. She has to prove she can survive—and thrive—in an industry that’s never taken her seriously. With a promotion on the line and the world watching, they hatch the perfect plan: spin the article in their favor, fake a relationship, and convince the world it’s real.
But the more they pretend, the more real it starts to feel. Sparks fly. Lines blur. Kennedy insists she still can’t stand him, mostly to protect her bruised heart. And Henry, despite every reason to keep his distance, is falling hard and fast.
With careers, reputation, and hearts on the line, they’ll have to decide… Can this false play turn into the real thing?
Scoring Lessons
Wesley Hayes is known for two things: breaking hearts with that too-innocent smile and being the team's clown. He’s the guy with the easy laugh, reckless charm, and the life of the party—the man who never takes anything seriously.
At least, that’s what everyone believes.
He’s fought tooth and nail for his spot on the Chicago Strikers. But without a contract extension, when the season ends, so could everything he’s worked his entire life for.
For the first time, the jokes feel forced. The pressure is real. And getting distracted isn’t an option.
Olivia Anderson never planned on starting over. Again. New city. New job. Another shot at something real. She’s done wanting for things she can’t have—and determined to take back the years she spent forgetting who she was.
The only problem? Her temporary living arrangement comes with one very familiar complication.
Her brother’s best friend. Her lifelong annoyance.
They’ve always argued like it’s a sport and pushed each other’s buttons. But forced proximity has a way of turning tension into something far more dangerous.
Especially when Olivia makes a confession she never meant to say out loud.
She’s tired of being inexperienced. Tired of not knowing what she wants—or how to ask for it.
Wesley should shut it down.
Instead, he offers to teach her.
What starts as innocent lessons turns into the inevitable crossed line they can’t come back from.
