RYAN
Shes a distraction, thats what she is.

Im the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicagos NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sisters best friend, to move into my apartment. Shes messy, emotional, and way too tempting.

But when the teams General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I cant think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.

The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.

Having a fake girlfriend wasnt supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.

I never imagined Id be living with my best friends brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend whos suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy.

Because, wellhes not. Hes controlling of his space and untrusting of others.

Our arrangement isnt one-sided, though. Im in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and theres no better date than my exs celebrity hero.

Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesnt believe in love.

Im a romantic and cant help fantasizing that hell change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friends brother was the right move after all.
