A football star and a diehard fan entangled in a PR stunt--that only one side knows is fake--might be the right play in this new romantic comedy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lynn Painter.

Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, her cat, and Minneapolis Coyotes football. But when she shoves the team’s mascot for getting too flirty, the moment goes viral—and she’s suddenly the internet’s villain. Hoping to clear her name, Duffy agrees to a live interview, only to face off with the Coyotes’ star tight end, Connor Cunningham.

Their fiery banter has viewers obsessed, and, in a PR opportunity too good to miss, Connor is pushed to ask Duffy out. The catch: Duffy doesn’t know the date isn’t real.

Despite his distaste for PR stunts, Connor soon finds that being with Duffy is easy and the romance starts to feel real to him too.

Keeping this secret from Duffy is sure to blow up in his face, and if he messes things up with her, it’ll be the greatest fumble of his life.

About the Author

Lynn Painter lives with her husband and pack of wild children in Nebraska, where she is a weekly contributor to the Omaha World-Herald and an avid fan of napping. When working on a new book, she can often be found sound asleep on her office floor. Some might say she should grow up and stop randomly dozing off like she's a toddler, but Lynn considers it part of her writing process.
