"A Lauren Blakely book is a guarantee of a good time." -Meghan Quinn, USA Today bestselling author

When the hot new quarterback desperately needs a fake girlfriend he turns to his best friend's sister, only to find that sometimes the woman for you is the one who's been by your side all along?

When I enter the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction, my goal is simple-be the player who goes for the most dough. But when trouble shows up at the auction, I need a whole new play.

Enter Violet-she's my best friend's sister and she's my close friend too. With a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash, Violet saves the day with the highest bid. I don't even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she's my girlfriend.

Which would be fine except my agent tells me we've got to keep up the act while he's negotiating my contract. Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, and soon our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport.

But falling for her wasn't in the playbook?
