Oakwood Ranch

The plan was simple. Charm the hotshot city journalist and fix my reputation. But her deep brown eyes seem to see right through me, and I can’t get her out of my head. Maybe this time, getting the girl is the reputation I want... On the field, I’m the player of my sponsors’ dreams. But off it, I’m in trouble. And apparently the only way to clean up my image is to put on a good show for a reporter so the world can see who I am at heart…

After an injury knocks me out of the game I love for good, I have no idea what comes next for me. Until I wake up with a shameful hangover, the sound of hooves outside, and a tougher-than-nails, sexy-as-hell ranch hand with a scowl the size of Texas banging on my door. Apparently, I accidentally bought all her granddad’s horses last night… Her contempt tells me everything I need to know. I don’t have the faintest clue how to be a rancher. But our ranch has been empty since my dad died and I’ve never been one to step down from a challenge.

My life revolves around two things: football, and family. Romance? Not so much. But my fans have other ideas. And they’ve turned my easy-going life into a nightmare with their campaign to find me a wife… My childhood best friend Serena thinks it’s hilarious. She’s always wanted the big, swoony love story, but instead, she has a controlling ex she can’t shake breathing down her neck. And then the solution to both our problems hits me: a fake romance.
