He needs a good girl to fix his reputation.
She needs a little chaos to sell her story.
What could possibly go wrong?
When a scandal threatens to ruin Justin Cole's career as a pro football star, his PR team comes up with one plan: find a girlfriend. Fast. But not just any girl-a smart, grounded, safe choice. Someone the media can fall in love with.
Enter Avery James. Struggling romance author. Bookish, sarcastic, and definitely not a fan of cocky athletes.
Their deal is simple: pretend to date until the headlines calm down. In return, Justin gets his image back-and Avery gets the spotlight she needs to sell her next book.
But fake relationships have a funny way of feeling real.
And when old exes, messy secrets, and late-night sparks start creeping in, Justin and Avery are forced to ask themselves one impossible question:
Is it all just pretend... or did they just fall for the act?
