Henry has quietly loved his best friend for years. Tired of riding the bench, he decides it's time for a jet sweep of Sawyer's heart. Pumped up on the adrenaline of being drafted, Henry plans to make his move, until he finds out someone else did before him. The worst part of that devastating scenario? Sawyer's new boyfriend is Henry’s teammate. But when momentum shifts and Sawyer is suddenly single, Henry decides it’s time to throw a Hail Mary and test the waters.
Henry Parker knows two things to be true:
1.) Playing in the NFL is everything he hoped it would be.
2.) Sawyer Jones is the love of his life.
After his teammates draft a brilliant (or incredibly stupid) game plan, Henry decides to steal some plays from some of the most famous romantic playbooks: romantic comedy movies. One lost tube of chapstick and a tension-filled day of baking later, Henry has a choice to make. Tell Sawyer how he feels and risk destroying the friendship, or stand aside and love her from the sidelines forever.
Since she met the six-foot-five, tattoo-covered, NFL lineman nearly two years ago, Maren has done everything within her power to avoid the warm and fuzzy feeling that appears whenever Jack is near. But so far, Maren’s arsenal of withering looks and snide comments has done nothing against Jack’s goofy smile and optimistic attitude.
As the maid of honor in her best friend’s wedding, it’s Maren’s job to plan a joint bachelor-bachelorette getaway. The only request from the bride and groom? Jack helps her plan the trip. Maren’s answer to that request is simple. No way. Avoiding her teensy, tiny feelings for sunny Jack Walters was a Herculean feat before she knew he supports marine conservation. Now? It’s nearly impossible. Worse, if anyone can tear down the walls that Maren has painstakingly built around her heart, it’s Jack. As Maren spends time with Jack, it becomes increasingly difficult to deny how she feels, leaving her with a decision to make. Does she fortify her walls and keep Jack out, or does she gamble with her heart and put her love on the line?
Maren Rivers lives her life following three scientific principles: Cheez-Its can solve any problem, climate change is very real, and Jack Walters is bad, bad news.
It’s a rule that keeps the quarterback’s heart safe. But, his rules change when a reporter digs up the past Deon has fought hard to leave behind. Now, he has to find a woman to take to a charity auction who will help him sell his lie. It can’t be hard to find a fake girlfriend, right? Realizing he’s in over his head, Deon's teammates help conjure a grand plan: Ask Nathalie Morales to act as his fake girlfriend.
It’s the perfect play. They have the history to weave a convincing lie, but Deon’s play call begins to crumble when Nathalie brings the light back into Deon’s life. How is he supposed to pretend their relationship is fake when his feelings are real? As the charity gala looms closer and with it, the end of their fake relationship, Deon is left with the most important play call of his life: Does he play it safe or risk it all and potentially fumble into love?
Deon Adams doesn't date.
