Description
This collectible paperback edition features full-color character art and a never-before-seen bonus chapter. From USA TODAY bestselling author Chelsea Curto comes the second book in her hockey romance series DC Stars, a steamy fake-marriage hockey romance between an NHL goalie and the friend who asks him for lessons in the bedroom. Piper Mitchell is ready to take control of her life again. Newly divorced, stuck in a rut at work, and completely out of practice when it comes to dating, she decides there's only one solution: learn how to be good in the bedroom. Liam Sullivan might be the NHL's most intimidating goalie, but behind the scenes he's exactly the expert Piper needs. Quiet, guarded, and surprisingly patient, Liam agrees to give Piper a few private lessons--strictly casual, no strings attached. But when a wild night in Vegas leaves them waking up with matching wedding rings, Piper and Liam decide to figure out how much more fun they can have as husband and wife. It's only temporary. Only for the season. And it definitely doesn't mean anything. Except the longer they pretend to be married, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and their real feelings begin.
