  If You Need Me (Toronto Terrors #3) by Helena Hunting Release date: November 14th Andi Arndt and Stephen Dexter are bringing Hemi and Dallas to life in this standalone enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement hockey romance releasing on November 14th. A standalone enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement hockey romance.   I’ve been secretly in love with Wilhelmina Reddi-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
