Keep Me Close (Illustrated Cover): Keep Me Close (Illustrated Cover), cartea 5

Knox McNichols and I have one thing in common-we can't stand each other.

He's the NHL playboy who enjoys getting under my skin, and thanks to the marriage between our siblings, avoiding him isn't an option.

When my ex refuses to take no for an answer, I show up at Knox's penthouse with a desperate proposal-pretend to be my boyfriend.

The plan is simple: convince my ex I've moved on.

Except Knox has a few rules...

Rule #1: No flirting with anyone but him.

Rule #2: If my ex contacts me, I tell him immediately.

Rule #3: My location stays on at all times.

His rules should send me running.

Instead, they make me wonder if the man I've spent years fighting with is hiding something entirely different beneath his easy smiles and reputation as hockey's favorite playboy.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks between us-or Knox's determination to protect me at all costs.

When pretending starts to feel a little too real, I realize there might be something far more dangerous than my ex refusing to let me go.

It's discovering that the man I've spent years fighting with just might be the one I can't live without.

Keep Me Close is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance featuring fake dating, off-limits tension, a hero who's been secretly pining from page one, and no third-act breakup. It's book five in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.
