He’s hockey’s biggest villain. She’s the only one who can save his reputation.

I don’t give a damn if my reputation is circling down the drain faster than I can blink.

One photo of me grabbing some asshole paparazzi by the collar, and suddenly I’m hockey’s biggest villain.

Thirty million in endorsements? Almost gone.

Family-friendly cereal deals? Dead.

My squeaky-clean image? Buried six feet under.

But here’s the thing nobody knows—I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Because that piece of shit was talking about Maddison, and nobody disrespects my girl, my Mad.

Maddison Lowden.

Yes, my girl … even if she doesn’t know it yet.

She’s been fixing my messes for three years, calling me out on my bullshit.

I’ve been obsessed with her since day one, and she treats me like an overgrown toddler who can’t tie his own skates.

Now my franchise PR team has proposed the perfect solution: a brilliant solution.

Marrythe woman I’ve been fantasizing about for years.

Fake engagement, real chemistry, one year of playing house with the only person who’s ever made me want to be better. Win-win! Ker-ching!

What could possibly go wrong?

Spoiler alert: everything.

And I wouldn’t change a damn thing.
