Description

Reese Sutton is every woman’s fantasy, with his crooked smile, warm brown eyes, and broad shoulders. But to me, he’s always just been my best friend. The man I rely on to have my back no matter what. I know he would do literally anything for me, so when he asks me for a favor, I can’t say no… even after I find out that he wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend to help him win back his ex. I should laugh at him for even suggesting it. But I don’t. Instead, I do the craziest thing I’ve ever done and offer him a deal. I’ll play the role of his girlfriend, wearing his jersey to his games and hanging on his arm in public. And in exchange, he’ll help me get over my awkwardness by giving me lessons… in bed. Our arrangement should be simple. We’ll spend a few months fooling the world, and in the end, he’ll have his ex back and I’ll feel confident enough to jump into the dating pool again. We even write up a list of rules to make sure no lines are crossed and our friendship will remain intact. But then my best friend kisses me for the first time… ...and all of our rules start to unravel.
