All's fair in love and hockey

Skating the line between love and hockey, these college athletes are about to learn that winning off the ice is way harder than anything they face in the rink.

Welcome back to Clark Fork University for your next semester. Get ready for the final book in the series, Campus Fake!

BLURB

The bold, confident girl everyone loves? She's the best lie I've ever told.

She’s loud, fearless, always laughing, and being a rock for everyone around her. No one has any clue that I’ve spent the last five years faking the confidence I exude like it comes naturally. No one would guess I’ve built a carefully crafted house of cards.

Until my estranged brother shows up at my door and threatens to tear it down. He demands I come home for Christmas and that it’s time to face my family—despite the fact we both know they still blame me for what happened.

Then my roommate and one of my closest friends, Harrison Gordon, swoops in with a rescue I didn’t see coming. He tells my brother that he’s my boyfriend and he’s coming with me. And instead of refuting the obvious lie, I go with it because the truth is I’m not strong enough to face my family alone.

The quiet hockey goalie has always seen more than he should. He sees through every joke, every deflection, every carefully crafted lie. And somehow, instead of running, he stays.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to keep my walls up. Because Harry makes me feel safe in a way I haven't felt in years. He keeps insisting I deserve forgiveness. That I deserve love.

But Harry doesn't know the whole story. And I have no doubt that when he learns the truth about the night that changed everything, he'll realize what I’ve known all along.

Some sins are too big to be forgiven, and some people don’t deserve to be truly happy.

Campus Fake is a steamy friends to lovers, fake dating college hockey romance featuring a quiet goalie who falls first, found family, survivor's guilt, emotional healing, and a heroine who must learn that surviving isn't the same thing as living. It is the fourth and final book in the CFU Hockey series, but can be read as a standalone.

Audiobook narrated in duet by Veronica Pace and Noah B Perez.

Meet the Author

Hey, I’m Cadence, your friendly, neighborhood romance writer. By day, I look like an average frazzled mom of two toddlers who rarely does her hair (a mom bun totally counts, right?). By night, I let my imagination fly and write steamy scenes that have taken several of my closest friends by major surprise. I love writing heartfelt stories with relatable characters and a guaranteed happily ever after. Thanks for checking out my books!
