A sexy small town, forbidden, football romance from bestselling author Kara Kendrick One fake kiss with the coach next door changes all the rules of the game. Mack doesn’t give Prince Charming vibes.

Friend-of-my-best friend’s-dad kind of forbidden. When I'm ditched on a date and losing aura points by the second, I salvage my pride in front of my archenemy the only way I can—I pretend Mack’s my boyfriend. He plays along and seals our fake relationship with a kiss that sets my world on fire. "Just one night" quickly spirals into secret rendezvous and heart-racing hookups. But then I discover the “blue collar” laid-back coach I've fallen for is hiding secrets of his own. I'm certain we're doomed. What I don’t count on? Mack chasing after me—and this time, he's calling the shots.
