Writing Mr. Wrong: a sexy, fun, second-chance, fake dating romance

A reunion gone viral. A love story that's anything but fictional 🔥📖

Debut author Gemma Stanton knows romance readers love a bad boy - and she has the perfect prototype for her novel: Mason Moretti. High school hockey god-turned-pro player, Mason was Gemma's first crush, but she couldn't forget the sting of his very public rejection. So, she cast him as a hot-headed Highlander in her spicy new historical romance. She never expected readers would find out on live TV - when a morning show host invites Mason for a surprise on-air reunion . . .

As an aging hockey player with a rep for being ruthless on the ice - and roguish off of it - Mason has an image problem. So, when his meet-cute with Gemma goes viral, Mason proposed they build on the momentum with a few fake dates to boost her book sales . . . and his profile. But when the fictional flirting gets a little too real, Mason realizes Gemma actually makes him want to become a better man - someone worthy of her trust and her love.

Would Gemma ever give him a second chance? Mason knows it's a long shot, but taking shots is sorta his thing, and besides, who loves a redemption arc more than a romance author?
