“I dare you not to fall in love with Lynn Painter's writing.” — Ali Hazelwood

Duffy loves three things in life: her dad, her cat, and the Minneapolis Coyotes football team. So when she accidentally shoves the team’s overly flirty mascot away on live television, she instantly becomes public enemy number one. Desperate to clear her name, Duffy agrees to a live interview—only to find herself sharing the screen with star player Connor Cunningham.

Connor expected to read a quick PR statement, not get into a fiery on-air debate with an unapologetic fan. But when their electric banter instantly captivates viewers, Connor’s PR team jumps at the chance, pushing him to ask Duffy out for a fake-dating scheme to win over the public. As different kinds of sparks begin to fly between them, Connor realizes keeping the secret is getting harder by the day. And if he drops the ball now, he risks losing a whole lot more than just a game.
