Out of Order by Flora Madison

Carlie:
As a bridesmaid/wedding date for hire, weddings are my life.
I’ve never had any reservations until NFL Bad Boy, Griffin Starke, walks into my office.
Griffin’s built like a bulldozer and as handsome as a movie star, but not necessarily good for my brand.
He’s always in the press for bad behavior, and the potential exposure would put my business at risk.
But for what he’s paying, I can’t say no.
So it looks like I’ll be arm in arm with the hottest guy on and off the field.
Which might not turn out to be so bad after all.

Griffin:
The organization says I need to lay low or they’ll suspend me from the NFL.
I don’t mean to get into trouble, but things aren’t always black and white.
Leaning into the idea of hiring someone as my date seemed awkward at first.
Then, I laid eyes on Carlie Howell.
The curvy, blonde bombshell isn’t just stunning. She’s responsible and forthright.
So it won’t be hard to pretend she’s my date.
I want to impress her, to show her that I’m more than just my bad boy reputation.
Maybe then, she’ll give me a chance.
