The only way to receive her inheritance? Marry the NHL’s grumpiest enforcer, a brutally handsome jerk, and the last man she’d ever fall for, from the viral TikTok author of Behind the Net.

In public, Georgia Greene and Alexei Volkov act as besotted newlyweds, but in private, theyre at each others throats. Hes competitive, arrogant, and surly. The guys never cracked a smile in his life. Hes jealous of her colleague, glares at her high heels, and insists hes not attracted to her. Hes only marrying her for citizenship.

Fighting with Alexei is more fun than Georgia expected, though, and beneath his grouchy exterior, Alexei is surprisingly caring, protective, and generous.

He cuddles with her bunnies and worries about her safety. He sends her flowers with secret meanings and spends way too much money on her. He makes her sleep in his bed and calls her his wife.

For a guy who said hed never love her, Alexeis doing a great impression of it and now Georgia is wondering if this marriage is fake after all.
