Playing With Fire

[2023 Wattys Shortlist]

When a feud between siblings goes too far, Solana finds herself falling into the hands of his enemy.

Two university state teams have been fighting for generations, and unfortunately for Solana, her brother happens to be the quarterback for the Hawks, while his ex-best friend and current enemy leads the Tigers. She's normally supportive, but after an argument goes too far with her brother the night of a party, she finds herself welcoming a certain player into her bedroom.

Christian Kane knows all about loyalty, and that it was his loyalty to others that got him screwed over. While he hides his anger behind his smooth words and flirty smile, the one person who can't fall for his charm is the little firecracker he's known for ten years. But with his loyalty to his team, he knows that surrounding himself around Solana will only lead to issues he doesn't need.

But as the unlikely pair come to a mutual fake dating agreement to stir some problems, it's only time until things shatter into pieces.
