But when her steamiest book, The Prime Minister & Me, unexpectedly becomes a bestseller, rumors of a real-life affair between her and the PM start swirling out of control. Enter Nolan Crosby, the PM’s new close protection officer (aka bodyguard) – and Andi’s failed one-night stand from three years ago. Nolan’s in town very temporarily to care for his mother, who’s battling early-onset Alzheimer’s. But when the scandal erupts, Andi ropes him into a fake-dating plan. As loyal employees, they’ll pretend to date for the summer, just long enough to put the scandal to bed and save their boss’s reputation.

Er ist der Hockey-STAR in einer Stadt, in der Hockeyspieler wie Götter verehrt werden – und er liebt es.
