Scoring Chance

The Comebacks, Book 2

By: A.J. Truman

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo, Alexander Cendese

Totally fake marriage. Very real feelings.

When my hockey teammate, the recently widowed Tanner Chance, loses his job, he and his four kids are left with no medical coverage.

So I suggest a wild idea: get married and put his family on my company’s insurance plan.

It’s supposed to be a marriage on paper only. But this being a small town, our nuptials accidentally go public. Now, we have to play house in order to make this scheme believable.

Suddenly, I’m trading my swanky highrise for a cramped split-level and refereeing sibling squabbles while attempting to make a meatloaf.

Goodbye bottomless mimosas. Hello bottomless piles of laundry.

I’m also sharing a bed with my closest friend, the one guy I promised myself I’d never cross a line with…and using all my willpower to keep that promise.

The more time I spend married to Tanner, the harder it is to remember what’s fake. Because every time he smiles at me, every time he calls me his husband, it feels a little too real.

If our ruse is exposed, I could lose not just my career, but the man and family I never knew I wanted.

Scoring Chance is a single dad, friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience MM romance. It’s book 2 in The Comebacks series, about a team of former hockey champions recapturing their magic (and finding love) in a local amateur league—but it can be read as a standalone. Whether they win or lose, there’s always a post-game beer.
