Riley Hart has two rules in life: avoid her nosy family’s relationship questions… and definitely never fake-date her ridiculously handsome childhood best friend.

Too bad she’s about to break both.

When a family reunion threatens to turn into a matchmaking circus, Riley panics and blurts out the worst lie ever—that she’s already dating Beckett Cole, local NFL star and the one guy she’s never quite gotten over.

Beckett’s only too happy to play along. One fake weekend? Easy. Except with shared beds, suspicious cousins, and sparks flying hotter than summer in the city, their “pretend” romance starts to feel dangerously real.

Now Riley’s caught between protecting her heart… and risking everything for the win that matters most: love.
