Out of the Shadows by Sorena Graves

Some girls want the perfect guy handed to them on a silver platter. Me? I found him all on my own. But life isn’t a fairy tale, and my so-called Prince Charming is convinced he’s not good enough for me.
He’s wrong.
Colt Michaels is all quiet strength and smoldering intensity, checking every box I never knew I had. A force of nature wrapped in broad shoulders, piercing blue eyes, and a crooked grin that leaves me breathless. He was everything I wanted, wrapped up in a package that somehow went unnoticed by everyone else. There’s just one problem: Colt keeps his distance, no matter how badly I want to get close. He doesn’t see what I see—a man who’s everything I’ve ever wanted. But I’m not the type to sit back and hope for the best.
When the perfect opportunity arises, I make my move. Fake dating him might sound like a scheme, but it’s the only way to prove what I’ve known all along: we’re meant to be. He thinks he’s not good enough for me.
I’ll prove him wrong.

Out of the Shadows, a fake dating college football romance, is Book 1 in a series of interconnected standalones.
