‘Fake-dating goodness filled with delicious tension’ Lana Ferguson, author of The Nanny

Elias Westbrook, a newly drafted hockey player for the Toronto Thunder, is facing the challenges of fame and media scrutiny. The tabloids are reporting on his every move, including which woman he was last seen with, but all he wants to do is escape the spotlight.

Enter from stage left Sage Beaumont, an aspiring ballerina whose lack of popularity online has put her at a major disadvantage for securing the roles she dreams of. When Sage finds herself with the chance to change her luck by fake-dating Elias, she takes her shot.

Soon enough, the flimsy rules they set in place fall away. But before things can spiral out of control, Sage and Elias will have to decide if they're willing to take the leap together or if they'll have to call it quits.

‘Bal Khabra is a master of swoon, and lovable characters. I dare you to try and read one of her novels in more than one sitting — they're simply unputdownable.’ Hannah Bonam-Young, author of Out on a Limb
