The relationship is fake.
The stakes are high.
But the feelings are very real…
After someone spikes her drink, Rainey Dare— head of PR for the Summerlin Thunder— wakes up in the bed of the team’s star tight end. Her furious father is pounding on the door and the paparazzi are spinning a scandalous story. Suddenly, all her time trying to prove she’s more than the team owner’s daughter is in jeopardy.
Rainey never expected the team’s notorious bad boy to be her savior, putting his career on the line. Now, it’s her turn to save him before another scandal gives her father an excuse to cut him from the team.
Her Hail Mary? Claim she and Trent Novak are a couple, at least until the end of the season.
Her goal? Save Trent’s career, and prove she’s the right choice for general manager— not her heir apparent brother.
The sexual tension between them sizzles as she’s forced to play pretend with the hottest man she’s ever seen. One who prefers flings to emotional connections, something she understands. Her past is filled with men who used her to get closer to the team. But Trent is different. His need for space is a cover for a loneliness she wants to fill.
When the line between real and pretend starts to blur, Trent must decide: either he dares to let Rainey in or he risks losing her for good.
