In the Net: An Enemies to Lovers Hockey Romance (Sin Bin Stories)

A woman who has long disliked hockey player Sebastian Lawrence asks him to pose as her boyfriend at a family wedding to satisfy her relatives' concerns about her single status. She believes the arrangement is safe—he's attractive enough to impress her family, but she's confident no real feelings will develop. Sebastian is bookish and athletic. As the woman pursues her PhD in English, she discovers they share similar literary tastes and enjoy witty conversations. What begins as a pretense gradually shifts as they spend time together outside of family obligations, exchange copies of the same books, and share kisses that affect her deeply. The woman finds herself developing genuine feelings for the man she once despised. The novel features dual perspectives, banter, physical intimacy, no infidelity, and a happy ending. It is part of the Sin Bin Stories series.
