kiss me captain: The ice captain chubby fake girlfriend
Emma Johnson has spent her entire life being the girl nobody chooses.
The quiet, plus-size younger sister. The family disappointment. The woman men politely reject before they even know her. She has learned to smile through every cruel remark, pour her love into baking, and dream of the day she can open a little bakery where people see her talent instead of her size.
Then, on the day of her sister's wedding, everything changes.
Ryan Carter, the NHL's legendary ice captain, arrives expecting to watch his greatest rival get married—only to discover that the bride is his own girlfriend.
Humiliated before the entire country, Ryan makes one reckless decision that shocks the world.
He kisses Emma.
Overnight, Emma goes from invisible to the most talked-about woman in the country. The media believes she's dating hockey's biggest superstar. His sponsors want the fairy tale. His team wants the publicity. His manager offers them a deal neither of them expected.
Pretend the relationship is real.
For Emma, it's supposed to be temporary. Just a few fake dates, a few staged kisses, and enough money to finally build the bakery she's always dreamed of.
But pretending becomes dangerous when Ryan starts noticing the woman everyone else overlooked—the gentle baker with the biggest heart he's ever known.
As old enemies plot revenge, family secrets unravel, and a jealous ex refuses to let Ryan go, the line between fake and real begins to disappear.
Because the girl nobody chose may turn out to be the only woman worth fighting for.
