Cross-Check: A Fake-Dating Rivals-to-Lovers Hockey Romance (Rivermark Renegades)($12.99Value)

Description

Roman Kade was supposed to be the captain who kept Rivermark together. Instead, one televised hit turns him into a headline, puts a stadium vote in jeopardy, and leaves the team fighting for its future. Delaney Cole has built a career turning other people’s disasters into clean public stories—but when she quits her client and is hired to manage Roman’s image, she gets the one assignment that could make or break everything. He hates being managed. She refuses to sell a lie. And the only way to save the team may be to fake a relationship that starts as strategy… and becomes far too real. Set in the world of the Rivermark Renegades, Cross-Check is a slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers hockey romance packed with forced proximity, sharp banter, emotional stakes, and a high-pressure public redemption arc. When the cameras are watching and the town is on the line, Roman and Delaney have to decide whether they are building a brand—or telling the truth. Because some stories are safe. And some are worth everything.
