Nichole tutored Chase through high school and college. He went on to be a star in the NFL. Nichole is a single mom working hard to launch an app that she hopes will solve all her financial issues. Right now, they both need each other again. Chase’s crazy antics off the field on top of his most recent injury make him fearful that his contract won’t be renewed for the next season. Nichole feels that if she has a fiancé or husband, it will help her chances of getting much needed financing for her app. They decide that a fake engagement and marriage will benefit them both. They can always get “divorced” after their goals are met.
Of course, both their families plus Chase’s agent and team are more than shocked by this sudden development. Nichole’s son Wesley is truly happy that he now has a dad. Will this situation lead to true happiness or heartbreak on many levels?

The author has not only written a sweet romance, but emphasized the huge importance of family. Chase has had a wild reputation of doing crazy things, but under it all he has a tender heart. Nichole has dealt with the choice that changed her life forever and raised a wonderful son. The author fleshes out both main characters perfectly.
