Evening the Score
by Lexi LaFleur Brown
Years ago, a dirty hit ended Olivia Hinckley's father's NHL career with the Minnesota Freeze. It was never fair that Erik Parker walked away with little more than a penalty, but it's worse that her father's rival's son -- hockey's golden boy, Brody -- just signed on to play for the Freeze. Determined to dismantle the Parker legacy, Olivia dons the Freeze's mascot costume to gain intel on the Parkers, and then decides to mess with his heart with a little fake dating for good measure. For Brody, preserving Erik's image is a full-time job, but his new connection with Olivia is a welcome distraction. When Brody finally opens up to Olivia, she never expected her faked feelings to get so real.
