Synopsis

A sexy small town, forbidden, football romance from bestselling author Kara Kendrick

You know what they say about things you can’t have….

My mom’s broody next-door neighbor Mack doesn’t give Prince Charming vibes. Sure, he’s tall, ruggedly handsome, and the high school football team’s defensive coordinator. But he’s also a decade older than me and absolutely forbidden.

Friend-of-my-best friend’s-dad kind of forbidden.

Not a love match for sure.

Until I’m on a date and get ditched. Losing aura points by the second, I preserve my dignity in front of my archenemy the only way I can—I pretend that Mack’s my boyfriend. He plays along, selling the story with the best kiss of my life.

Hello fiery chemistry.

One thing leads to another and “just one night” turns into secret trysts and impromptu hookups. Before I know it, I’m head over heels for him. But when I discover that the laidback, sports-loving Mack has secrets and isn’t the “blue collar” regular guy I thought he was, I’m positive the two of us will never work.

What I don’t count on is Mack chasing after me—and this time he’s calling the shots.
