A football star and his team's die-hard fan find themselves entangled in a PR stunt--that only one side knows is fake--but it might just be the right play...
Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyote football. So after she gets booed out of a game and becomes the internet's villain following an awful encounter with the team's beloved mascot, she is disgruntled, to put it mildly. Eager to clear the air, Duffy agrees to an interview on a hit morning show. She doesn't expect a co-guest to join her--especially not the Coyotes' star tight end.
When MVP Connor Cunningham gets tasked with damage control to help his team out of a PR nightmare involving its mascot, he thinks that means saying a few words on the Coyotes' behalf. Instead, he finds himself in a highly amusing verbal sparring match with a recently wronged fan on live TV. Duffy pelts him with fiery jabs but is also clearly diehard about the Coyotes--color him intrigued...and attracted.
The interview instantly goes viral, and the public is obsessed with them. A strong push from the Coyotes' PR team to ride the wave results in Connor asking Duffy out. Despite his distaste for PR stunts, he discovers being with Duffy is much easier than he anticipated, and somehow it doesn't feel fake to him. This secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it'll be the greatest fumble of his life.
Lynn Painter is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of romantic comedies for teens and adults. When she isn't reading or writing, she can usually be found binge-watching rom-coms or shotgunning energy drinks.
Kate Goldbeck grew up in a literal village and dreamed of living in New York, even though her parents warned her that the apartments on Friends were not realistic. In college, she studied film and art history—limiting her employment prospects to “film museum.” Since earning a master’s degree at an engineering school, she’s designed award-winning museum exhibits and immersive experiences all over the world. She adores bantering with her partner, falling asleep to British audiobook narrators, and scratching dogs behind the ears.
