She’s Texas's toughest bull rider, and he’s determined to win her heart.
Dakota and Wyatt. Storm and sunshine. Growing up, they were as inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends—or so Dakota thought. Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family’s flower farm in Granite Falls, Texas, and they’d stargaze in the fields, pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas, until one summer… he never came back.
Dakota Cutler hasn’t heard a peep from Wyatt Patterson in over three years, and a lot has changed. He’s the hockey world’s golden-boy, and she’s developed a reputation as “The Cowboy Killer” for riding bulls and leaving men with broken hearts. After a string of one-night stands, the last thing Dakota needs is a distraction, but when her oldest childhood friend waltzes back into town, begging to move into her barn with the most adorable baby girl on his hip, everything changes.
Wyatt Patterson’s back to get the girl he’s been obsessing over for years, and he’s doing everything to get her to see him as more than a friend—two-stepping at the Troubadour, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor showers. All Dakota wants is to keep her distance from her ex-best friend, but when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, it turns out the scorching Texas sun might not be the only thing that burns them this summer.

reader reviews
Rhode is easily one of my favorite book boyfriends with his backwards hat and smirk and his unwavering loyalty. I couldn’t get enough of him. And Nina and tattoos and her feistiness were so captivating. I laughed, I cried, I swooned. I recommend it to everyone looking for heat, heart, and humor and a great hockey romance!
"I LOVED this book! The characters were so relatable, the banter was top tier, and the spice level was perfect.

Rhode was so swoon worthy and def meets top tier book boyfriend criteria! I love his and Nina’s dynamic throughout the book and the tension and spice was ~chef’s kiss~
Also the relationships between him and his teammates gave me all the feels and I can’t wait to get to know the rest of the hockey boys better in later books! Highly recommend if you’re a fan of fake dating and hockey romance!
"I LOVE a sports romance and this is one done right!"

There were so many moments with them that just melted my heart. And Rhode, holy crap, talk about one of the sexiest men in books. The tension between him and Nina had me propelling through the pages, their tension so palpable I couldn't wait to get to the scenes where it broke, and they finally gave in and aahhhh the spicy level is perfect! Not only that, but there's true depth to the characters. They have lives and fears and wants. Things that get in their way. I felt so seen in Nina's character. I felt so devasted right along with them, so turned on right along with them. This book has everything you want from a spicy romance!
"Oh my gosh, this book! I came for the age gap, stayed for the spiciness, but fell head over heels in love with the hockey guys!"
