Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.
And the reason you need a gown is because you're part of a charity auction.
The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.
And now, because you're one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he's the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you...
The entire city is shipping you. You can't leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.
That's bad enough. It truly is.
But even worse?
Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot as lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he'll play dirty to get it.
The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs' lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.
