About this audiobook
Daniella Laughlin might seem put together but on the inside, she's figuring out who she is without her mom's beauty pageant influence. Constantly being critiqued and set up by her mom, she dreads going home for the holidays. Enter her best friend's older brother, hockey captain Gabriel Van Helsing. Dani and Gabe have been friends for two decades and she's harbored a secret crush on him forever, but never acted on it. Gabe's a player, on and off the ice, and the longest relationship he's had is with his hockey stick. He offers to drive her home for Thanksgiving break and proposes the most bonkers idea—they should fake date until New Year's to get her mom to leave her alone.
Gabe might wear the C on the ice, but he's always been passive. But after his latest hookup wouldn't take a hint, he uses Daniella's predicament for the perfect solution: if he was unavailable, people would leave him alone. Things begin easily with their friendship, but with every touch and fake kiss, Daniella can't hide her feelings anymore. And for Gabe, who sets deadlines for every fling he's ever had, he struggles to fight for what he wants. When their timeline is up, Daniella's insecurities clash with Gabe's inability to commit. For two people hesitant to take a chance, they must risk their decades-long friendship for a shot at love.
Contains mature themes.
