ALT The tropes: Deal trope He falls first, she falls harder Forced proximity Grumpy x sunshine “Take off that jersey”
ALT Parker Knight and Barret Keats share two things—their love for the ice and an injury that’s jeopardized both of their futures. Determined to compete in her senior year before leaving her grueling coach, heartache from losing her father, and hometown forever, Parker strikes up a deal that could make or break both their careers: he helps her get back on the ice, and she pulls strings to give him one last shot at the NHL. As Barret begins training Parker, mutual attraction and shared grief brings the pair closer, and their deal becomes so much more than what’s left on the ice. Barret must untangle his abandonment issues and fleeting career, while Parker must decide if her love for the ice and growing feelings for the hockey captain are worth another fall—and her need to leave it all behind.

ALT PITCH When mistaken identity hands a reporter a story, she plays along. But she's not the only one pretending. With a killer at large, the infuriating man she's fake-dating is the only one she trusts. Their attraction is mutual, they might even be getting serious, but soon he'll know her real identity. And he has every reason to hate that person.
ALT Snippets Until she stoops to turn him over, she isn't scared. She feels nothing but anger because he's done this once too often and enough is enough. 'Where?' In two strides, Sterling intercepts her. 'Where can you possibly have to be, Maudie sweetheart?' His eyes mock her. Kate's pout of reproach would have made Laura proud. 'Why, to the Hendersons' drinks do, of course, silly. We were both invited, remember, but you cried off and we decided I'd go and show my face.' Something leaps in his eyes. It's laughter, and before she knows what's happening, he's trailing his fingers down her cheek. Shock alone stops her from knocking his hand away. 'And what a face,' he murmurs, just loud enough for the others to hear. Gritting her teeth, she tries to move away but he cups her jaw, firmly, a malicious glint in his eyes. 'I want it to stay here,' he says. 'I'll miss it more than they will.' Kate manages a laugh and pulls away, rolling her eyes at Natalie. 'Men. Aren't they just so...darling.'

ALT Excerpts: You’re not thirteen anymore. You are not in a house with an angry man. There are no more angry men, and you haven’t been thirteen in a very long time. Things I learned tonight: - The storm was the perfect weather to move bodies without being noticed. - Steel pokers belong in every home for safety. - The priest was the heaviest person I had ever moved. - There is not enough wine in the world to make me forget what I did tonight. They say it’s a curse to understand things that are... abnormal. If you understand the mistreatment or can justify it, how different are you from the offender?
