What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

The third book in the Love and Hockey series.

A wild night in Vegas leads to a fake marriage between two best friends in this friends-to-lovers, ice-hockey romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely.

My plan when I win a date in Vegas with my brother’s hockey star best friend? Poker and go to sleep early. Instead, I wake up with a ring on my finger and the sexy athlete naked in my bed.

Asher’s my best friend too so we’ll get this annulled and laugh about this secret for years.

Trouble is our wedding pics went viral overnight. And for the sake of our careers we need to look like we meant to tie the knot.

We’ll claim we’ve been secretly in love, while staying in separate rooms for the rest of the hockey season.
The last thing we want is to ruin a decade-long friendship by falling into bed again.

Except, the more he calls me his wife, the more I start to wonder if Asher was ever pretending?

And if my heart is ready to take the biggest risk of all.
