Could've Fooled Me

Sarah Stone never expected to marry a hockey player, especially not for a visa. But when going home stops being an option, marrying one of her brother's teammates becomes her fastest escape route. Enter Carter Williamson, a charming and boyishly handsome player who takes their fake marriage seriously and somehow makes her feel safer than she has in years. What begins as pure paperwork quickly becomes complicated. With immigration interviews, locker room gossip, and an entire team invested in their love story, Sarah and Carter struggle to remember their arrangement is temporary. When a crisis on the ice forces Sarah to confront buried fears, one vulnerable moment threatens everything they have built. This marriage of convenience romance delivers chemistry and tension with steamy kisses but keeps the content clean and family-friendly, making it perfect for readers who love emotional depth without explicit scenes.
