My life was in order until a bikini-clad trespasser decided to take a dip in my hot tub in the middle of a cold winter night. So I asked her to be my fake girlfriend.

She's house-sitting next door, got locked out, and decided the best way to stay warm was to sit in my hot tub. (I'm not sure how the hard cider she pilfered out of my outdoor fridge fit into her plan...)

From the beginning, my temporary next-door neighbor has been chaos embodied, but she just might be what I need to keep my baby-crazy mother from setting me up with anything in possession of a uterus.

This craziness is the last thing I need as I battle a hip injury that might end my season and my career early, and try to get to the bottom of the secret my mother is keeping about our family.

The girl next door is everything I usually avoid, and our situation is just for show... until I realize chaos might be exactly what I need.

Grumpy Goalie is a standalone, hockey romcom by USA Today bestseller Delancey Stewart that offers her trademark humor, heart and heat!
