But when his high-profile life attracts dangerous attention, he’s forced into his worst nightmare: secretly sharing a flat with Brooklyn Armstrong, the one woman he knows he shouldn’t touch. Brooklyn, a sports nutritionist and the coach's daughter, came to town for a fresh start, not to deal with her best friend’s infuriatingly cocky and undeniably gorgeous brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhat starts as a tense living arrangement quickly escalates into a high-stakes bet that throws them closer than ever.
