Textbook Defense

Rowan Chadha's job as a children's librarian might be temporary, but at least it comes with adorable, hilarious patrons. When he bumps into Jordy Shaw-NHL star and super-hot dad of one of his favorite library kids-at a charity event, he suggests they team up as a fake couple to fend off unwanted attention, never expecting the connection to last.

Jordy is in desperate need of a new nanny, and his daughter, Kaira, already adores Rowan. When Rowan's apartment becomes uninhabitable just as his library contract ends, Jordy offers a stopgap solution: Rowan can crash in the nanny suite in his home and help with Kaira while Jordy trains for the new season-just until Rowan lands a new job and Jordy can find permanent childcare.

As the lines between fantasy and reality blur, the attraction that's been simmering between them bubbles over. But while they're free with their bodies, they struggle to defend their hearts, knowing their arrangement has an expiration date. After all, Rowan's a librarian, not a nanny, and Jordy could be traded at any moment.

Their arrangement is temporary, right? Or maybe some things are worth staying for....

Textbook Defense continues the Hockey Ever After series with a fake relationship turned real and an adorable child in need of a nanny.
