MasukMaya Adams has a type… Anyone who isn’t Hunter Callum. To the rest of the world, he’s the God of Hockey..a cold, arrogant, shirtless-on-every-billboard legend. To Maya, he’s the prude, stuck-up asshole who just got her suspended from her dream job at a top New York publishing firm. When a drunken night of trash-talking Hunter at a club ends in a bloody brawl and a viral scandal, Maya wakes up in the one place she never thought she’d be…Hunter’s penthouse. Now, his agent is offering her a deal she can’t afford to refuse Play the part of the doting, supportive girlfriend for five months. Curb the temper of the league's most volatile player. Walk away with $3.5 million and her career back. The rules are simple: keep it professional in private and convincing in public. But as the "God of Hockey" starts showing Maya a side of himself the cameras never see, the lines between their contract and their chemistry begin to blur. Maya is supposed to be faking it. But Hunter? He stopped playing a game the moment he laid eyes on her. Falling for the enemy wasn't in the contract. But obsessed gods don't play by the rules.

Maya groaned, tugging the blanket higher over her head.Hunter laughed. If he'd known there was a side of her beyond the sarcastic pain-in-the-ass reporter he'd always known, he would've tried to win her over a lot sooner."Do you want me to bring your breakfast up here then?" he asked, giving the duvet a light tug."What are you?" Maya's muffled voice came from beneath the covers. "My boyfriend?"Hunter shrugged. "Technically... we are a couple."Maya finally peeked out from under the blanket."Fake couple," she corrected. "The only time we have to make it convincing is when other people are watching."Hunter's smile widened. Without warning, he grabbed the edge of the duvet, yanked it away, and pinned her beneath him before she could escape."We made it pretty convincing last night, Cats," he murmured, one hand set
The ringtone of a phone woke them both.Hunter was the first to stir awake.Maya was still wrapped in his arms on the couch, sleeping peacefully against his chest. She made a small, barely audible sound when he shifted slightly.Hunter looked down at her, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.The phone continued to ring.Maya groaned softly and made another sleepy little sound."Turn off the alarm," she muttered, pouting in her sleep.Hunter chuckled.Then he carefully eased her out of his arms. Maya instinctively tried to cling to him, but he gently pried her hands away.She let out a quiet protest."You told me to turn off the alarm," Hunter said with an amused smile. "You have to let go so I can do that."Still refusing to open her eyes, Maya finally released him.Hunter climbed off the couch and stood, grabbing his briefs that were tangled with his trousers before pulling them back on.The phone was still ringing.He glanced around the living room until he finally sp
He didn't rush. His fingers traced a slow path up her ribs, his thumbs brushing the undersides of her breasts until she whimpered, her fingers tangling in his hair to pull him back down.“Hunter…”“Let me look at you,” he murmured against her jaw, his voice thick with restraint.He leaned down, his lips replacing his fingers. Maya threw her head back, her hands gripping his bare shoulders as his tongue traced a burning line down her throat, settling on the pulse point at her neck. She moaned aloud, the raw sound only making his grip tighten.His hand slid lower with impatience that made her pulse race. When his fingers slipped past the lace of her underwear, finding the slick, aching heat of her, Maya completely lost her breath.“Hunter, please,” she breathed, her hips lifting instinctively against his touch.“Easy, cats,” he whispered, though his own jaw was clenched tight.He started a slow, rhythmic friction that had her twisting beneath him. It was a dizzying sensation, entirel
Maya wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeper.Hunter let out a low growl against her lips. His hands settled on her waist, holding her steady as he kissed her back.One of his hands slid to the back of her head, his fingers slipping into her hair as he deepened the kiss.After a long moment, he finally pulled away and looked into her eyes."Shit. We shouldn't be doing this," he said, his breathing still ragged.Maya laughed softly.Yes, they shouldn't be doing this. But somehow that only made it harder to stop.She looked up at him, amusement dancing in her eyes."Just shut up and kiss me," she said.She wrapped her arms around his neck again and pulled him back into the kiss.The last of Hunter's resistance disappeared.He kissed her again without another word.It hadn't even been twenty-four hours, and they were already breaking one of the most important rules in the contract.But if they could trap her in a situation like this, who said she couldn't have a little fun
Maya stirred slowly to warmth pressed firmly against her back and an arm draped heavily across her waist beneath the blankets.For a few quiet seconds, she didn’t move.Hanger over effects. Her head felt heavy. Her thoughts slow and foggy beneath the lingering haze of alcohol while soft morning lig
“Hunter Callum?” Someone gasped from the crowd.It couldn't be him right?Maya stared at him through the flashing club lights, her tequila-soaked brain trying and failing to properly process what the hell was happening.Then she frowned. “No.”The man standing in front of her raised a brow slightly
“Jessie,” Maya muttered without looking up, “if you came back just to judge me some more, I want you to know our friendship is becoming toxic.” A low laugh sounded beside her. It didn't sound like Jessie. Definitely not Jessie. Maya paused for a second too long, her brain slightly delayed in catc
“Fuck Hunter Callum.” She said the second she sat down, before Jessie could even open her mouth. Jessie blinked at her. “Hello to you too.” “And fuck Chloe Miller.” She added, flagging down the bartender. “Especially Chloe Miller.” “Okay.” Jessie nodded slowly. “We’re doing this.” “Whiskey,” sh
