Reckless Storm by Katherine Jay
Have you read the latest headline?
“Hollywood starlet, Hayley Jackman, and Super Bowl champion, Reed Coombs, make it official.”
If only they knew it was FAKE.
Ask a friend to describe me and they’d likely tell you three things. I’m the NFL’s golden boy, I’m loyal—always seeing the best in everyone, and I’m in love with my best friend.
The last one’s a lie. I have a crush at best. A crush that’s lasted a good ten years, but who’s counting?
Either way, it’s time to move on. Which is why I find myself going along with my friend’s crazy plan.
And that’s where Hayley comes in, playing the part of my new girlfriend.
She’s helping me get over my “bestie,” as she puts it, and I’m helping her tame her wild reputation for a coveted role. Despite believing she should be free to live her life however the heck she wants.
Too bad it’s all a ruse.
Hayley’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met. She’s fierce, free, and loves keeping me on my toes. But she’s also the first person to see all of me. To see past the golden boy label, to the guy who just wants everyone to be happy.
She’s perfect and… Dammit, I think I have a problem.
Because what happens when the fake becomes real, and the next thing I know, I’m falling in love with her?
And on top of that, I’m soon to discover…that’s the least of our worries.
