*RELEASE DATE OF APRIL 26TH, 2025 ON AMAZON* Mirabelle I've accomplished a lot in twenty years. After becoming a decorated Olympian at the age of seventeen, I continued my streak of overachieving by graduating from my parents' alma mater, Duke University, a year early. I scored the public relations internship of a lifetime with an NFL team based on my own merits, and not because my father was their quarterback his entire career. The only thing I haven't accomplished is falling in love. Actually-that's technically not the truth. I fell in love with Henry Price, my parents' best friends' son, years ago. Never in a million years did I imagine I'd have a chance at making him see me the same way, but when the opportunity arises for me to help Henry fix the PR disaster threatening to ruin his career by pretending to be his girlfriend, I dive in head first. Except, I forgot love can make you blind, and I didn't realize we were drowning until it was too late. Henry From the time I learned to throw a football, I knew I wanted to be the starting quarterback for the Panthers. I spent most of my rookie contract learning from my parents' best friend, the legendary Sebastian Walker, knowing I would spend my entire career trying to be half the player he was. I never imagined it would almost slip through my fingers, or that the lifeline to keeping it would come from his daughter, Mirabelle. I've known her my entire life, and because of that, I've never allowed myself to look at her the way I'm now being forced to as she helps me save my career by pretending to be my girlfriend. I try to keep my intrusive thoughts in check, until Mirabelle confides in me why her ex-boyfriend broke up with her, and I selfishly offer to help her become more confident in the bedroom. My entire life, I've viewed love as conditional, but Mirabelle Walker makes me want more for myself, until I'm reminded that love is as unpredictable as the ocean.

❝Was hat sich verändert?❞, hakte ich nach, denn ich wusste, dass ich die ganze Nacht wachliegen und darüber rätseln würde, was es dieses Mal war, das Lola dazu gebracht hatte, sich von mir abzuwenden. Sich davon zu überzeugen, dass sie mich nicht wollte, obwohl ich das Gegenteil auf ihren Lippen geschmeckt und in ihrem Seufzen gehört hatte. ❝Nichts❞, sagte sie mit einem Lächeln, das ganz und gar nicht von Freude und Glück zeugte. ❝Genau das ist es. Du bist du - ich bin ich. Lass uns nicht vergessen, dass wir eigentlich gar nicht zusammenpassen.❞ ✨ Lola hat den Männern abgeschworen. Besonders, wenn es sich um Quarterbacks handelt, die über den Campus spazieren, als würde ihnen die Welt zu Füßen liegen. Aber Blake Harrison hat andere Absichten - und 36 Fragen sollen helfen, sie davon zu überzeugen, dass sie besser zusammenpassen, als Lola vermutet.

Ob der Applaus es noch wert ist, wenn Sophie nicht mehr da ist, um den Erfolg mit ihm zu teilen.
