To the world, he’s a sexy soccer superstar.
To me, he’s the arrogant jerk who broke my teenage heart–and my new fake fiancé.

The last time I saw Tim Cheltenham, he was an eighteen-year-old soccer hottie with an irresistible English accent, a painfully gorgeous face, and an enormous . . . ego.

Fifteen years later, with a medical degree under my belt and a new dream job with The Strikers soccer team—his team—I’m not about to let Tim’s bad attitude and grumpy scowl ruin it for me.

But when my chauvinistic boss implies that he doesn’t trust single women to stay on the job long-term, I panic and tell him I’m engaged. And to my surprise, it’s Tim who comes to my rescue, offering to play my fake fiancé if I’ll do him a favor–cover up the truth about his injury.

The lie could derail both our careers, and I’ve got no desire to spend more time than necessary in Tim’s surly presence. And falling for him again? Ha! That’s never going to happen.

So with my job on the line, I say yes. Now, the more time I spend with Tim, the more I sense a softer side beneath those chiseled muscles and broody exterior. But the more I understand him, the harder it is to pretend that we’re just for show.

And when a rival player threatens to expose our secret, I’m terrified I’ll lose everything.

They say you have to fake it to make it. But what happens when love is the goal?

Fake relationship, second chance yes and yes. If you have been following my reviews then you know that these books are the ones that I gravitate to more. Jordan has always wanted to prove herself and had a dream job of becoming a sports doctor and has gotten a job of a lifetime being the leading team to help the Strikers. It’s a little awkward because her teenage crush is on the team. Tim is from England originally and moved to the states. There are a couple of injuries that Tim had gotten from playing and things get turned upside down when he sees that there is a new doctor and it’s the girl that he’s had a forever crush on. Tim is not about to walk away again fifteen years is too long. This was a beautiful emotional read.
