From the author of sexy romantic comedies comes the story of a meddling grandmother searching for lifelong love. For her hockey player grandson...

I own Aphrodite’s Boutique, a store that I adore with all my heart, and which is at risk of being replaced with a condo development.

Losing the boutique also means the loss of my wishing-well fountain. The proceeds from it go to a local center for underprivileged kids.

To save them both, all I have to do is pretend to be Travis Hamilton’s girlfriend.

Sounds simple enough. Right?

Except he and I have a history together...but he doesn’t seem to remember me.

My feisty, well-meaning grandmother raised me after my parents died, but now she’s determined to help me find The One. But when most women I meet tend to be only interested in my hockey-player salary, why bother?

Only a fake girlfriend will deter my grandmother’s matchmaking scheme.

Too bad the one woman who can help me is the sexy redhead who wants to assist me as much as she wants her eyeballs dunked in hot sauce and barbecued.

To convince her, I promise to help her with her own dilemma. And to sweeten the deal? A Magic Mike number, with my teammates, to raise money for the community center.

But sometimes fire and ice really do mix. Now I have to decide if love is in the air—and if together, Emma and I make something hotter. Something stronger. Something real.
