Pro quarterback Ryan Ralston has always known two things.
First, heās desperately in love with his best friend Emme Ahlborg.
Secondāand most importantlyāhe still has no idea how to tell her.
The marriage pact they made in their senior yearbook was the closest he ever came.
Years passed and Emme forgot about their promise.
Ryan never did, especially not on his thirtieth birthday.
Emme canāt catch a break. Always unlucky in love, her cheating ex is a groomsman in her best friendās weddingāand thereās no way sheās showing up alone.
Ryan offers her the one thing better than a wedding date: a revenge husband. And heās not just any fake husband but the NFLās brightest starā¦and in need of serious reputation rehab.
Playing the part of the happy couple comes easy and soon enough, the lines between real and fake blur. They disappear altogether when thereās just one bed.
All Ryan has to do is save Emme from her ex, find her step-sister an internship, and get his wife to fall in love with himāor fumble the one thing heās ever wanted: her heart.
