Leah is used to being wanted, but she doesn't do relationships. As a professional footballer for Arsenal, she keeps things simple: train, win and don't get distracted by girlfriends. Girls come and go, and she prefers it that way. Addison, on the other hand, has never even had a girlfriend. She's sweet, chatty, hopelessly bad at flirting and even worse at lying. Which becomes a problem that she doesn't know how to take back when blurting out she has a girlfriend. Enter: Leah. When her temporary housemate becomes the solution, the agreement is simple. Pretend to date, meet parents. Smile for photos and when it's convenient end it. However, living together suddenly comes with rules, boundaries and one very important condition: Don't fall for each other. It should've been easy. Except Leah is impossibly charming, addicted to flirting, and has a habit of looking at Addison like she's already hers. And Addison, despite promising herself she wouldn't, starts falling for the woman who somehow brought family into her life. As fake kisses become real, late-night cuddles become routine, and "temporary" quietly feels more like "forever," they build something neither of them ever expected. But love isn't always enough. When old insecurities, jealousy, and the weight of each other's past begin to crack the foundation of everything they've built, the question stops being, how did they fall in love? And rather it becomes... Can two people who are perfect together survive the parts of themselves they can't seem to change? © All rights reserved.
