365 Days With The Hockey Player I Hate

Reads

21 years old Soraya Rivera has spent her entire life fighting for everything she has. A full scholarship is her only ticket to a better future, and with her father's mounting medical bills threatening to bury her family, failure isn't an option. So when a heated confrontation at a nightclub turns into a public scandal, she's one mistake away from losing everything she's worked for. Declan Shaw has his own future on the line. At twenty-five, he's hockey's golden boy the league's favorite player and captain of the ice. But after one reckless night involving Soraya, lands him in trouble with sponsors and team management, he's given an impossible ultimatum: clean up his image or kiss his career goodbye. The solution? A legally binding marriage. For 365 days. One year of pretending they're happily in love. One year of living together, smiling for cameras, and convincing the world their relationship is real. If they fail, Declan loses the career he's sacrificed everything for. If Soraya refuses, she loses her scholarship and the chance to help save her father. The rules should be simple: no feelings, no complications, and absolutely no falling in love. But when hatred starts feeling dangerously close to attraction, and every stolen glance blurs the line between fake and real, Soraya and Declan discover that surviving 365 days together may be the easiest part. Because the biggest risk isn't losing everything. It's losing their hearts to the one person they swore they'd never love.
