Blaze. I’m at the top of my game. Star receiver of the Boston Blizzard, huge new contract, women throwing themselves at me nightly. But when I find myself needing some extra help keeping my life together, I don’t expect a sexy little firecracker to show up at my doorstep. And the kicker?

But when I find myself needing some extra help keeping my life together, I don’t expect a sexy little firecracker to show up at my doorstep. And the kicker? She knows all about my football world. When I overhear her on a phone call talking about how no man in Boston can give her what she needs, I find myself scrambling to figure out how to make her submit to me in more ways than one. But I won’t stop with just her body. I want her heart, too. Mads. From the time I was little, all I’ve ever wanted to be is a sports journalist. So, when I’m offered my dream internship in a city a thousand miles from home, I pack up my life and head to Beantown. But when I find myself working for the city’s most famous (and hottest) football player as his new assistant, it takes everything I have to keep my eyes and hands off his abs and remain professional. Especially now that I’m living under his roof and seeing the dirtier side of him that nobody else knows about. less

As the star defensive end for the Boston Blizzard, I pride myself on keeping my nose clean and my head in the game. I’m a no-nonsense kind of guy, but when I’m approached to fake date the world’s biggest popstar to stir up publicity for her halftime performance at the biggest game of the year, I throw caution to the wind and agree to the crazy plan... moreAs the star defensive end for the Boston Blizzard, I pride myself on keeping my nose clean and my head in the game. I’m a no-nonsense kind of guy, but when I’m approached to fake date the world’s biggest popstar to stir up publicity for her halftime performance at the biggest game of the year, I throw caution to the wind and agree to the crazy plan. But when I get to know the real Bella Simon, the one she doesn’t show to the rest of the world, my feelings for her quickly start to become something very real. For the last ten years, I’ve toured the world, performing for millions of adoring fans. And while my life looks flashy and exciting from the outside, the reality is anything but. The friends I have are all for show, and at twenty-four years old, my busy schedule has prevented me from ever going on a proper date. So, when my publicist tells me the hottest pro football player to ever exist will be my fake boyfriend, I decide to enjoy the ride. I try to keep reminding myself that none of it is real, but my heart isn’t getting the message. Because I can’t seem to stop myself from falling for him. .. even though I know our whirlwind romance is just a stunt. less

DALTON. As the best running back in the league, I have no shortage of women wanting my attention. And I’ve eaten that up since being drafted to the Boston Blizzard…until now. Ever since I met Dia Spencer, I haven’t been able to focus on anyone else. When we find ourselves outside a Vegas wedding chapel while celebrating the biggest win of my career, I shoot my shot and end up married for a night to the girl of my wettest dreams... moreDALTON. As the best running back in the league, I have no shortage of women wanting my attention. And I’ve eaten that up since being drafted to the Boston Blizzard…until now. Ever since I met Dia Spencer, I haven’t been able to focus on anyone else. When we find ourselves outside a Vegas wedding chapel while celebrating the biggest win of my career, I shoot my shot and end up married for a night to the girl of my wettest dreams. But when I get the chance to keep her as my wife a little longer, I have to figure out a way to convince her to stay forever. DIA. My life has been a series of unfortunate events. Aside from my best friend, everyone I’ve ever trusted has hurt and used me. I decided a long time ago to protect myself by never getting attached to anyone, no matter what. So, when Dalton Davis asks me to be his wife as part of the ‘full Vegas experience’, I give him one night. Then, it’s off to Splitsville. But when getting married proves to be a lot easier than getting divorced, I have to do everything I can to protect my heart from getting broken again…even if my new husband is showing me all the ways he wants to keep it safe. less

TANNER. The summer before my senior year of college, I made the biggest mistake of my life. It wasn’t falling for my best friend’s little sister when I knew she was off-limits…it was leaving her behind thinking what we had was nothing more than a fling. Her pained cries as I walked away have played on a loop in my nightmares since that day. In the years that have passed, there hasn’t been a single achievement I’ve celebrated that wasn’t tainted by her absence. But now, it’s time... moreTANNER.

GRACE. Five years ago, I spent a whole summer learning, exploring, and falling in love with my lifelong protector. His future was bright, and as he broke me into a million pieces, he made sure I knew there wasn’t a place for me next to him under the bright, stadium lights. That girl who waited and hoped for him to come back is gone now, but just when I think I’ve moved on and created a life of my own, a ghost from my past reappears, determined to make things right. Tanner Lake may have once been everything to me, but those days are long over, aren’t they? less

JETT. At twelve years old, my whole life changed in the blink of an eye. I not only lost both of my parents but was also forced to uproot my life to live with my aunt and uncle, leaving behind the best friend I ever had. When a chance encounter in an elevator during championship week brings her back into my arms, I know I can’t let her go again. I may not have long to do it, but I need to find a way to show Bailey Hart how much I’ve missed her, and make her mine for good. BAILEY... moreJETT.

As an esthetician at a high-end spa in Tampa, I deal with my fair share of entitled clients. So when I’m asked to work for one of the Boston Blizzard wives during the week of the big game, I’m reluctant to say yes. But as soon as I arrive at her hotel, my entire world spins on its axis when the first boy I ever kissed ends up right in front of me. Only now, he’s no longer the awkward kid I once knew; he’s all man, and the tight end for the same team my client’s husband plays for. Is thirteen years apart too long to feel things right away, or is this all a part of fate’s plan to bring us back together? less
