Fake Skating is a fun, heartfelt romance about childhood friendship, unexpected change, and pretending not to fall in love when it’s clearly already happening.

Dani and Alec were inseparable as kids best friends who shared everything from playground adventures to sneaking into movie theaters. But when Dani moves away, life pulls them apart. Years later, she returns to Minnesota, excited to reconnect with the sweet, nerdy boy she once knew. What she doesn’t expect is that Alec is now the town’s hockey star, confident, admired, and completely different from her memories.

In Fake Skating, one awkward situation leads to another, and Dani and Alec end up pretending to be a couple. What starts as an act quickly becomes complicated as old feelings resurface and new sparks fly. In a town where hockey players are treated like legends, balancing fake romance with real emotions isn’t easy.

Warm, witty, and full of chemistry, Fake Skating is perfect for readers who love fake-dating tropes, friends-to-lovers stories, and small-town romance with a sporty twist.
