The Blurb ♡
Savannah Barnett has mastered the art of being invisible.
Keep her head down. Hide the fact that she sleeps in her car. Survive her shifts at an underground club beneath a red wig and the name Scarlett Cherrywood. Do whatever it takes to bring her younger sister home.
Then Cade Bright discovers her secrets.
The Covey Crushers' dangerously charming left winger has been watching Savannah since the first day of their study group. Beneath the dimples, money, and professional-hockey future, however, Cade is hiding a violent past of his own.
When Savannah's lack of a stable home threatens her chances of gaining custody of her sister, Cade offers her the one thing she never expected:
Marriage.
A husband. A home. A ready-made family—and a man willing to fight anyone who tries to hurt her.
Their marriage is supposed to be convenient. Falling into bed together definitely isn't. Neither is the way Cade looks at Savannah like she's already his entire future.
But the man controlling Savannah's secret life isn't ready to let her go. To win her freedom, Cade may have to return to the underground cage he swore he'd left behind.
Savannah has spent her whole life fighting alone.
Cade intends to prove she never has to again.
The Obvious Check is a steamy, open-door marriage-of-convenience hockey romance and Book 2 in the Covey Crushers series. Each book follows a different couple and can be enjoyed as a standalone.
