NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The only way to receive her inheritance? Marry the NHL's grumpiest enforcer, a brutally handsome jerk, and the last man she'd ever fall for, from the viral TikTok author of Behind the Net. In public, Georgia Greene and Alexei Volkov act as besotted newlyweds, but in private, they'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 her colleague, glares at her high heels, and insists he's not attracted to her. He's only marrying her for citizenship. Fighting with Alexei is more fun than Georgia expected, though, and beneath his grouchy exterior, Alexei is surprisingly caring, protective, and generous. He cuddles with her bunnies and worries about her safety. He sends her flowers with secret meanings and spends way too much money on her. He makes her sleep in his bed and calls her his wife. For a guy who said he'd never love her, Alexei's doing a great impression of it... and now Georgia is wondering if this marriage is fake after all.
