As the youngest heir of the Hartmann fortune and the backup goalie for the Boston Rebels, the pro hockey team my family owns, I’ve spent my life being the peacemaker in my cutthroat family and the goalie that my teammates can depend on.
I have only one weakness: my coach’s daughter, Evangeline Wilcott.
Eva is a pairs figure skater, and my life-long best friend. I’ve always wanted more, but she friend zoned me back in high school and we’ve lived thousands of miles apart since.
Eight years later, a secret pregnancy is threatening her skating career. When she’s rushed to the hospital right before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, I panic. Now, my team’s loss lies solely on my shoulders and I could be traded.
When Eva needs help, suggesting we get married is the easiest split-second decision I’ve ever made. A grandchild could keep me in Boston playing for my family’s team, and I’d do anything to take care of Eva.
We agree to a marriage based on friendship, but once Eva and I are living together, all those artificial walls we’ve built start crumbling. Now, I’m making up for all the years I couldn’t call her mine.
But when her past reappears in our new life together, her happiness and my family’s reputation are both threatened. And maybe I’m not so different from my family after all, because I find there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep my wife safe and happy.

MY REVIEW
Eva friend zoned her now best friend long ago, but no matter. Or well, not really, because Luke has always loved her. Now he's going to get the chance to skate out of the friend zone and into her heart. Their marriage of convenience is supposed to be just friends, but these two friends have been long disguising feelings far stronger than friendly, and now will have to navigate a marriage, a baby on the way, and dealing with their feelings.
Luke is perfection. Soooo in love with his girl, protective af and has the family money and power to back him up, and so adorable the way he takes care of his best friend and love of his life and their coming soon baby. And then there's Eva - she's so freaking strong, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. With Luke's support to bolster her, she figured out how to stand up to her mother, and of everyone, her character had the biggest growth arc. This pair of pining friends is deliciously hot, sweet, and perfect for each other. The Boston Rebels keep getting better, can't wait for the next hockey player to find love.
