If You Need Me — Helena Hunting

I've been secretly in love with Wilhelmina Redd-Grinst since the third grade. I should be the one taking her to our small-town high school reunion. The prom king finally gets his chance with the valedictorian. Except she hates me. To the world, I'm a pro hockey player with a million dollar smile. To Hemi, I'm the menace who (accidentally) sank her bike to the bottom of the lake. I never thought I'd be able to right my wrongs until she took the team's PR job. I'd hoped I was making progress, winning her over-one geriatric polka party at a time. Until I got drunk one night and made a mistake. A very big mistake. Now the world thinks we're both very much in love-except Hemi is absolutely in loathe. To save our jobs and reputations, we have to convince all our friends, family, and bosses that our fake relationship is the real deal. I'll do anything to protect her, especially if it means I get to be the best boyfriend Hemi never expected.
