Sometimes, the best defense is a passionate offense.
Playing for Payback, an all-new fake dating, revenge hockey romance from
bestselling author Lainey Davis is now available!
Sometimes, the best defense is a passionate offense.
The ref stops the puck in the middle of a playoff game, and I look up from the ice ... to see my
boyfriend making out with another guy on the kiss cam.
My humiliation goes viral, and suddenly, my entire life—from my back pass to my bisexuality—is
tabloid fodder.
To make matters worse, the jerk making out with my guy turns out to be the live-in boyfriend of Lena
Sinclair, the brand new team dentist for the Pittsburgh Fury.
When Doc finds herself homeless after
confronting her ex, I offer her my guest room while we both lick our wounds.
Revenge sounds sweet to both of us, so we craft the perfect plan: a "summer fling" that'll show our
exes exactly what they've lost.
Somehow, the line between fake and real grows blurry, and the game becomes dangerously
personal. With Lena’s job on the line and the whole world watching my every move, we’re not just
playing for payback. We’re fighting a connection neither of us saw coming--one that might be worth
risking everything.
Playing for Payback is a hockey romance with a curvy heroine, a two-way defender who excels at
protecting what matters, and body checks straight from the sin bin.

I skate closer to my brother and watch as he spits a tooth into her hand. He looks up at me and grins, missing one of his choppers. I have to look away.
Someone hands me a water bottle, and I squirt it into my mouth, glancing up at the big screen above center ice. The arena is blasting music and fans are dancing and, apparently kissing. Yep. There goes the kiss cam.
Predictably, it scans over to the Partners and Wives section, where my older brother's girl blows a big kiss to Gunnar. They're so in love it's almost gross. The crowd freaking loves it. I glance back at Tuck, but he's still got a mouth full of dentist hands.
I chug some more water and my eye is drawn to the jumbo screen again. Adam is here today.
He wouldn't sit with the PAWs, but I got him tickets right off the ice, near the team tunnel.
Am I jealous that the camera isn't panning to him and he's not blowing me a kiss? Yeah. I'm fucking jealous. My family hates that Adam won't commit to me in any meaningful way. They all want me to end things with him, but none of them have ever navigated dating outside the hetero norm. Adam says he's not ready to be out with a celebrity. I have to respect that.
I sigh as the kiss camera hovers on a pair of dudes making out. They're getting just as much applause as all the straight folks. I raise my fist to join in the whooping when I notice something familiar about the one guy's dark hair.
I stare at the screen, realization growing that I know the scruffy stubble, the collared shirt, and the hairy hand clutching at the second dude's face like he can't bear not to be touching his lover.
Because that's Adam making out with Brad Reid, the guy I met last month at a barbecue at Coach's house. The same guy whose girlfriend—the pretty dentist with her hands in my brother's mouth—seemed like the only decent person there that day.
