What You're Getting Into...
In case you need a refresher on why this book is going to wreck you in the best way:
🏒 Alder Stag: Bisexual hockey defenseman whose boyfriend cheats on him during a PLAYOFF GAME on the jumbotron
🦷 Dr. Lena Sinclair: Plus-size dental trauma specialist whose boyfriend is the one doing the cheating
💔 The Setup: Two betrayed hearts + one revenge plot = the most delicious fake relationship you've ever read
🔥 The Heat: Early reviewers called it "steamy" and mentioned "hot cheeks" multiple times
💕 The Heart: Family dynamics, healing from betrayal, and finding love when you least expect it
The Early Reviews Were Right...
Remember when I shared those amazing early reviews? Well, after reading the final version, I can confirm—they were spot on. This book has:
✅ The Stag family chaos you love
✅ A bisexual hero fighting bi-erasure
✅ A plus-size heroine who owns her brilliance
✅ Revenge that turns into real love
✅ Steam that will fog your Kindle
✅ A setup for Tucker that will leave you DESPERATE for his book
A Personal Note About This Story
Writing Alder's story pushed me as an author in ways I didn't expect. Representing bisexuality authentically in sports romance, creating a plus-size heroine who feels fully realized, tackling themes of public humiliation and media scrutiny—there were moments I worried I was trying to do too much.
But as I write this on release day, I'm proud of what we accomplished together. Alder and Lena's story is messy and real and hopeful, just like love should be.

The Tucker Teaser You've Been Waiting For...
Okay, I can't resist. Here's your tiny peek at what's coming for Tucker:
"Some secrets are too big to keep. Some consequences too permanent to ignore. And some women too important to lose—even when keeping them might destroy everything."
