Guarded

Fake marriage, real love, and secrets that will break your heart, then put it back together stronger! 🏒💙

Sebastian Voss can block the fastest slapshot on ice… but winning custody of his daughter? That’s the fight of his life. His reputation is in tatters, his case hanging by a thread, so he proposes a fake marriage to the one woman who sees past the headlines, the one woman he’s already losing his heart to 💍🔥

Kat knows saying yes is a mistake, because she’s loved him for years, and she’s been forced to write the very lies ruining his name. Blackmailed, trapped, keeping a devastating secret under his roof… she walks into his home, wears his ring, loves his little girl, and falls deeper every single day. Stolen kisses, quiet nights, building a family, the fake becomes so beautifully real that forgetting the expiration date is the easiest thing in the world 🥹❤️

The tension is unbearable, knowing the truth is hovering over them, watching Sebastian trust her completely while she carries the guilt, wondering if love can survive when the lie finally unravels. It’s raw, tender, and utterly gripping, two people fighting for the same future, terrified the other will walk away when they learn who really pulled the strings. And when it all comes out? The healing, the forgiveness, the realisation they were always on the same team? Swoon. 💙✨

A hockey romance that scores far beyond the game, about protecting what matters most, finding your person in the middle of the mess, and loving someone enough to trust them with your whole heart. HEA hits so hard and so right 🏒💕
