About Run the Play
Rowan
I swore I would never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me.
Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he is my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along.
He is charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it is all pretend.
I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I have finally found, and that is scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.
Landry
I did not mean to get involved. I just could not watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through.
So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she is mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels.
There is a good chance I was never faking.
This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it would be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I have never been very good at following the rules.
Availability
Run the Play is currently available for preorder in eBook format on Amazon.
