Description
The only way to get my inheritance? Marry Alexei Volkov-the grumpiest enforcer in the NHL, a brutally handsome jerk, and the last man I'd ever fall for.
In public, we act as besotted newlyweds, but in private, we're at each other's throats. He's competitive, arrogant, and surly. The guy's never cracked a smile in his life. He's jealous of my ex, he glares at my high heels, and insists he's not attracted to me. He's only marrying me for citizenship.
Fighting with Alexei is more fun than expected, though, and beneath his grouchy exterior, Alexei is surprisingly caring, protective, and generous.
He cooks for me and worries about my safety.
He sends me flowers with secret meanings and spends way too much money on me.
He makes me sleep in his bed and calls me his wife.
For a guy who said he'd never fall in love with me, Alexei's doing a good impression of it... and now I'm wondering if this marriage is fake after all.
Gloves Off is an enemies to lovers marriage of convenience hockey romance. It's the fourth book in the Vancouver Storm series but can be read as a standalone.
Tropes:
- pro hockey
- enemies to lovers
- marriage of convenience
- grumpy sunshine
