Rowan
I swore Iβd never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me.
Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that heβs my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along.
Heβs charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that itβs all pretend.
I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything Iβve finally found, and thatβs scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.
Landry
I didnβt mean to get involved. I just couldnβt watch her shrink away from him a second longerβnot after knowing what he put her through.
So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him sheβs mine. Now I canβt stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels.
Thereβs a good chance I was never faking.
This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined itβd be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, Iβve never been very good at following the rules.
