I don't see MPG Cozy for this book. I see the following: Romance, Sports Romance, Hockey, Sports, Hockey Romance, Fake Dating, Marriage of Convenience, Friends to Lovers, Contemporary Romance, and Workplace Romance for MPGs.

Please let me know what task this book works for. Points have been counted.
