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?

Side Note: I Think I Love You
Side note: never fall for your fake boyfriend. When my best friend convinced me to write a love letter to my crush, I didn't expect it to all go south. Because instead of the most realistic scenario-him reading the letter and rejecting me privately-the last thing I'd ever expected to happen did. The letter doesn't end up in his locker. But in the locker of one of the most popular football players in the senior class, Ian Bale. Who also just happens to be my crush's older brother. Luckily, he promises to keep it a secret. But our actions start spreading rumors about us and in the next minute, I'm thrown into a fake relationship. But it works out for the both of us. Ian saves me from potential embarrassment while I help get his friends off his back about his dating life (or lack thereof). However, as the month progresses, I find myself enjoying more and more of his company. From his cheesy pick-up lines to his sense of wonder and even his nerdy glasses. My priorities begin to shift and I can't help but be a little terrified of the prospect of trusting another guy again. But I think I can make an exception. For fans of Jenny Han, Cookie O'Gorman, and happily ever afters with a sprinkling of real world problems, get ready to dive into the first installment of this beachside romance.Complete
