Ted Lasso meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in this steamy sports romance about an infamous
star soccer player who is forced to fake date a Hollywood starlet only to develop real
feelings for her—just as she learns he was pretending and vows to get even. Abigail Hunt’s
Hollywood dreams could best be described as slow burn…but she’s about to graduate from TV
sidekick to dramatic actor. When the esteemed director of her breakout role suggests a deep
dive for her part by shadowing the head of a struggling pro soccer team she jumps at the
chance to prove she’s ready. Getting asked out by notorious grump and gorgeous star player
Luke Wolfe wasn't in the plan but suddenly her research is getting a lot more...hands-on.
Their relationship quickly sets social media on fire and Luke seems determined to prove he’s
more than his villainous reputation. But just when Abigail is happier than ever—her name in
lights and her heart in good hands—the other cleat drops: Luke’s been coerced into faking their
relationship to improve the team’s ticket sales. Furious Abigail refuses to give Luke the
satisfaction of dumping him—she decides to get even. Over-the-top dates treating his games
like fashion shows and befriending the fan club he hates? Count her in. It’s only a matter of
time until she pushes the right buttons. She just didn’t expect him to keep putting up with
it—or to say I love you .
