A fake relationship between a fiery teacher and a notorious football star heats up into something dangerously real – but is this game worth the risk?
Brielle
Starting my teaching career as the butt of a prank gone wrong is not how I imagined things going. The hits keep coming when it’s none other than the notorious Ares Bellingham’s nephew who pulls the prank.
Ares, Fall Lake University’s most controversial rising football star, is the last person I expect – or want – to see standing in my classroom, but here he is, infuriatingly smug as he tries to fix things.
Just when I think things can’t get worse, my past resurfaces, threatening to disrupt the life I’ve worked so hard to rebuild.
But Ares has a plan, one that might be worth the Hail Mary he’s throwing my way, and suddenly my life becomes even more complicated.
Ares
One ridiculous mistake almost cost me everything – my shot at the NFL, my reputation, and my family. Now, I’m just inches away from getting benched for good.
My coach is breathing down my neck, the scouts are watching my every move, and I can’t afford another fumble.
But when my nephew’s prank lands me in Brielle Sinclair’s crosshairs, the fiery teacher with a no-nonsense attitude, I’m suddenly facing another fourth-and-long.
She needs help running interference on her past, and I need…well, I need her.
The Play
It’s simple, really.
I’ll be her pretend boyfriend to keep her tormentors at bay, and she’ll help me show the world I’m not the PR nightmare they think I am.
But as we spend more time together, faking it becomes harder, especially with sparks flying whenever I’m near her.
I’m ready to fight for her, but will she let me prove that what we have is more than just a game?
