Hard to Fake: A Teammate's Little Sister Sports Romance
About this ebook
As a sharpshooter for the Denver Kodiaks, I’m used to taking shots, but nothing prepared me for the proposition from my teammate’s sister. She needs a pretend boyfriend to outshine her ex at a sorority reunion? Challenge accepted.
Playing the role of her date isn’t supposed to ruffle feathers—it’s just a weekend of make-believe, right? But Brooke’s always been more than just forbidden territory. She’s the girl who’s laugh echoes in my dreams, and whose resilience strikes a chord deep inside.
When I hear her ex will be at the reunion, bringing him down a peg with some play-acting sounds like fun. It’s the perfect play… until our fake relationship starts skewing into something real.
I’ve always been a competitor, playing to win every game I'm in. Yet, as I'm drawn into Brooke’s orbit, I find myself wanting more than just a temporary fling. With every lingering look, protective gesture, and pretend kiss that feels all too real, a fire builds that might just burn beyond this fall weekend in Vail.
Brooke guards her heart like a fortress, but I’m ready to storm the gates. She challenges me like no one else, breaking down my defenses and making me question everything.
In the picturesque mountains of Colorado, what began as a simple ploy morphs into a profound connection. Turns out, faking a relationship is the easiest part—denying our underlying chemistry is the real challenge.
Because when you start to fall for the girl you’re supposed to be pretending with, every move becomes a risk… and I’m all in.
