Jordan ＂Bougie＂ Boucher has a reputation - one he didn’t earn. The star NHL defenseman plays the part of a rich young playboy who doesn’t take anything seriously, and he lets everyone believe it-because it’s easier than explaining the truth. Thinking his love life was cursed, he’d almost given up on finding something real. Until Kennedy Kramer stepped onto the team plane. The gleam from her pilot wings caught his eye and lit up something inside he thought he’d never find again-the light at the end of the tunnel. Her.

The only problem? She wants nothing to do with him.

Kennedy Kramer, the Milwaukee Steel Riders’ no-nonsense pilot, has zero patience for the antics of Jordan Boucher. To her, he is exactly what the media says he is-an arrogant, spoiled, entitled rich boy. She’s determined to ignore him...until an uncomfortable run-in with a co-worker forces her to agree to fake date him.

What started as a convenient lie quickly spirals, especially when anonymous messages warn them to stay away from each other. But with his dream girl finally within reach, there’s no way Jordan is backing off. Not when she starts chipping away at the cracks in the mask he wears every day-and not when she surprises them both by wanting to know the man hiding underneath it.

But just as the chemistry builds between them...so do the threats.

Ice Deke is a laugh-out-loud hockey romance that will make you blush, swoon, and keep you on the edge of your seat.
