Kyle Robbins: Seattle's rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart.
Oh, did I mention he's also my new client... and fake boyfriend?
I thought I left Kyle and our complicated past behind me, but when he saunters up as my new client at a house showing, I'm quickly reminded how much he still haunts me.
I try to walk away, but the stubborn jerk isn't having it. In fact, he doubles down on working with me, as if our tragic history doesn't exist at all.
The commission from working with him is the key to a new life for me and my son. It's worth putting up with the cocky athlete long enough to find him a house. But when Kyle sees the bruises left by my darling ex-husband, he thinks he can save me - and suddenly, he's interested in much more than just being a client.
Before I know it, I'm wrangled into a scheme so crazy it just might work. Kyle pretends to be my fake boyfriend so he can keep my ex in line until I get the commission from this house sale and get the hell out of Seattle for good.
But with a past as thick with chemistry and tension as ours is, it's not long before those fake touches feel all too real. Every brush of his hand against my back has me spinning back to that night. Every kiss has me dizzy with the love I felt at eighteen. And every day that passes without me finding him a house has me wondering how much longer I can survive this game we're playing.
Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety.
But I can't help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before.
