Lorelei Romano’s junior year was supposed to be perfect—living with her best friend, dominating on the soccer field, and spending time with her boyfriend. Instead, she’s suddenly single and stuck living in the football house with her overprotective brother… right across the hall from the grumpiest player on the team. Sure, Luca Monroe has unfairly gorgeous hair and thighs of steel, but he clearly can’t stand her.
Luca doesn’t have time for distractions—not when making it to the NFL is his only shot at taking care of his grandma. And Lorelei? She’s his teammate’s sister, the definition of off-limits, and far too tempting for his own good. Keeping his distance should be easy.
But when Lorelei’s ex stands between her and a career-changing internship, she and Luca strike a deal—team up to impress her professor. The plan is simple. The growing tension between them? Not so much. One moment of weakness leads to another, and soon, they’re tangled in a secret friends-with-benefits arrangement. No feelings. No drama. And absolutely no one can find out.
Only, the closer they get, the harder it is to pretend this is just physical. Lorelei refuses to be anyone’s secret, and Luca has only ever put football first. But when she walks away, he’s forced to make the biggest play of his life—fight for the girl who’s become his everything or risk losing her forever.
