Description
The highly anticipated sequel to the "achingly tender and deliciously sexy" (Jillian Meadows, author of Give Me Butterflies) Only in Your Dreams is a steamy, whip-smart sports romance about a former pro football star who agrees to fake date the fan-favorite ex of another high-profile NFL player so they can both save what's most dear to them while fighting their growing feelings for each other.
After a death-defying injury sidelined him for two seasons, Brooks Attwood's pro football comeback has hit a major snag. Naughty photos from a post-break-up bender have leaked, and they're killing his chances with the Rebels-his old team, and the only one he wants to play on.
As he trains with the hope of being signed before the first kickoff of the season, Brooks's plans to keep a low profile are suddenly upended when his selfie with a fiery fan goes viral, and tabloids mistake them as the football world's newest It couple.
Turns out, Siena Pippen is the ex-girlfriend of the "face" of the League. And she wants nothing more to do with that world after being with her nightmare ex. While she and Brooks are busy blaming each other for the media circus surrounding them, NFL teams are suddenly scrambling to sign a housebroken Brooks. Meanwhile, Siena realizes that all this buzz could be the Hail Mary her family's struggling business needs.
Together, Brooks and Siena hatch a plan: ignore the will to kill each other and pretend to be madly in love-at least, until Brooks signs with a team. But the longer they pretend, the less fake their fauxmance begins to feel...and Brooks becomes as determined to convince Siena they're truly meant to be as he is to land a spot on the Rebels' roster.
