The Deal by Elle Kennedy
This was adorable! I was giggling and kicking my feet constantly. I LOVE a fake relationship. Hannah and Garrett have a philosophy class together. She passed the midterm, he didn't. Justin is also in that class. Hannah likes Justin but he hasn't noticed her. Garrett, being the captain of the hockey team, needs to stay eligible. He convinces Hannah to tutor him for the makeup midterm and in exchange he will pretend to date her so Justin will notice her. But, it turns out he starts developing feelings for her and she for him. He helps her recover from the trauma of her rape. She helps him deal with his relationship with his abusive father. Then, his dad stops her and tells her to break up with him or he will cut him off. She doesn't want him to give up on his hockey dreams so she ends things. They are both miserable. Then, how shows up to the winter showcase to support her, but they don't get back together. She tries to start up a conversation with a guy and he blows her off. She talks to Justin and tells him she was interested but not anymore. He tells her that Garrett put a no contact order out on her, which is why everyone has been avoiding her. She shows up to practice, marches into the locker room, and confronts him while he's in the shower. She finally tells him about the conversation with his dad and he tells her about his trust fund, which he got access to on his 21st birthday, which was like a week or so ago. They make up and get back together. This was so cute and I can't wait to read the next one!
