Blurb

The play is fake, but the feelings are real.

She’s done with golden boys.

He’s sworn off distractions.

But the heart has its own playbook.

When Rose Aldrich-St. James transfers to rival Montgomery University to escape her abusive golden boy ex, the last thing she wants is to catch the eye of another campus heartthrob—especially her new captain’s brother.

Kirin Callaghan, star tight end with NFL dreams, has sworn off distractions for his senior season. But when Kirin is paired with Rose for a class project, a fake-dating scheme might just be the key to both their goals: she gets social credit, he stays distraction-free.

It’s foolproof… until it isn’t.

When that past catches up and lines blur, they learn love might be the boldest trick play of all.
