Heart Trick - Kristen Granata

nHeart Trick is a fake dating hockey romance novella from bestselling author Kristen Granata. This is book 1 in a series of interconnected standalone novellas.n n nn nMy new neighbor is a jerk. Sure, he's the embodiment of tall, dark, and handsome, and he looks like he could crush a watermelon between his muscular thighs.

But he has managed to become enemy number one within the first forty-eight hours of moving into the apartment next door.n n nn nI may have retaliated and escalated the situation. I'm not above being petty, and I'm determined to make him break first.n n nn nUntil he sees my cheating ex-boyfriend giving me a hard time outside our building and steps in to help. If it weren't for the pictures in the press the next morning, I would've assumed his act of kindness was just a fever dream.

But my face is everywhere-labeled as hockey star Trenton Ward's new girlfriend.n n nn nNow, my grumpy neighbor's agent wants to run with this story. Apparently, his image needs some sprucing. (I can't imagine why with such a charming personality.) I agree under one circumstance: I get to use him for inspiration in the new romance book I'm working on.n n nn nI swear I meant it in the figurative sense when I signed the contract.n n nn nBut after a few fake dates and a toe-curling kiss, Trenton turns into my experimental guinea pig for all my spicy scenes.

I may be fake dating one of the NHL's best goalies, but out of all the things we do, faking it is not one of them.n n nn nOnly, falling in love wasn't in the fine print.n
