Needed

A Steamy Hockey Fake Dating Romance

The relationship was supposed to be fake. Yet, the desire between them is anything but.

Wyatt Wolfe lives by one rule: no distractions. After a brutal public breakup shattered his reputation and ability to trust, the Vegas Storm defenseman keeps his heart locked down and his focus on the ice. But when a rival's viral accusation brands him unstable and uncoachable, Wyatt's career teeters on the edge.
Enter Aurora Cohen, the Storm's new, ambitious PR manager with a crisis plan bold enough to save them both: fake a relationship. A steady woman at his side could clean up Wyatt's image, and the publicity boost could launch Aurora's career.
It's strictly business. No emotions. No strings.
Until staged dates turn heated. Until fake touches feel real. Until Wyatt starts wanting the one woman he's not supposed to trust.
As the playoffs ignite, a tabloid bombshell explodes, accusing Aurora of manipulation and betrayal. With Wyatt's old wounds ripped open, he must decide whether to protect himself by burning the lie to the ground, or stand up in front of the world and admit the truth.
Because this time, losing her would hurt more than losing the game.

Needed is a standalone steamy fake-dating hockey romance packed with emotional vulnerability, locker-room loyalty, and a guarded hero who finally chooses love over fear.
