College football star Reid Donahue's comeback is documented by sports media head Jo Lawrence, but as sparks fly between them, Jo must navigate both her career ambitions and growing attraction to the reserved athlete.

***

When college football superstar Reid Donahue is ready for a comeback following a gruesome injury, the university tasks their head of sports media for a season-long piece on Reid's return to glory. 

Jo Lawrence knows that doing this piece is her in for a post-grad job at ESPN and is determined to make her way through a notoriously male-dominated industry. But Reid - reserved and withdrawn since his injury - is making things difficult for Jo at every turn...including the wind sprints her heart seems to do every time he looks at her across the football field.

[COMPLETED] [2025 Wattys Honorable Mention] Danny's neighbor should be illegal. There's no way someone should be that attractive. They've lived next door to each other for over a year. As a skinny, clumsy, sweater-loving, Modern Poetry professor, Danny never believed someone like him could catch the eye of someone as perfect as Brett. But when Danny (accidentally) RSVPs to a destination wedding he never wanted to attend, he realizes he's in a bind-he needs a plus-one. And somehow, Brett becomes his unexpected solution. Brett's MMA career was on the brink of greatness until an injury stopped him cold. Now, trying to reclaim his spot in the octagon and live up to heavy expectations, the last thing Brett expected was to build a friendship with the neighbor he's been crushing on. However, Danny is undeniably gorgeous and way out of his league, so he needs to maintain realistic expectations. But, when Danny needs a date for a destination wedding, Brett's first instinct is to offer his help. Being his fake boyfriend would not be a hardship. A romantic beach, a fake relationship, and one bed... what could go wrong? Genre: Contemporary Romance / Fake Relationship / Friends to Love / HEA Guaranteed / Dual POV There will be mature scenes between two men that I will mark accordingly. These scenes are intended for mature audiences. This is a spin-off of the worlds of King of Hawkings/Death & Tequila and A New Song/Beats of the Heart, but it is a stand-alone novel, so reading the other novels is unnecessary. However, some old characters will appear, so you may enjoy it more with the full background.

| COMPLETED | Highest Ranks: #1 in Teen Fiction (06/11/17) & #1 General Fiction (07/22/17) | When Amaya receives an acceptance letter to her dream college, she is ecstatic. It has been her dream for as long as she can remember to follow in her father's footsteps of graduating top of her collegiate class. She has been working her whole high school career to be chosen for a scholarship to the university, so when she received it, Amaya thought it would all be smooth sailing from there. It truly was going well until her roommate jumped ship...well schools, and dumped all costs on her. To avoid getting a job that would distract her from her studies, Amaya decides on renting out the other bedroom in her apartment to split the costs and save some money. Poor Amaya didn't know when she made this decision, that a smooth-talking and annoyingly attractive, football player could be just as distracting, if not more, than employment. ***************************** Theodore Thompson, or as he liked to be called Theo, is a hot shot football player quickly climbing the charts and earning many of the NFL scout's watchful eyes. He could care less about morals, or even schoolwork. But for some odd reason Theo does care about good financial opportunities and saving money. So when a flyer goes up advertising an exceptional deal on a nice apartment, he goes for it. Unfortunately, at the time, Theo didn't know that getting a roommate came along with such an amazing arrangement. Cover made by: WinterFeels_

There are spelling errors and some grammar errors too. If you see some, feel free to comment and correct me (in a nice way please) I'll fix it. There are plot holes I know. The outfits are ugly, it's just bad. Also! There is football in this book, keep in mind, that I know nothing about football! Like at all! Lastly, there is no diversity in the cast, i'm aware. and i sincerely apologize for that, I was very young when i wrote this and I googled "pretty people" and unfortunately, white people were all that came up. I didn't think anything of it. I am very sorry and will try so much harder to have diversity in my future work. And if after reading all of that, you still wanna read this book, enjoy! Please don't steal my work, it's illegal. Thank you! {Milestones} 300,000 reads June 7, 2018 500,000 reads December 29, 2018 700,000 reads May 27, 2019 1,000,000 reads January 23, 2020
