RYAN
She''s a distraction, that''s what she is.
I''m the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago''s NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister''s best friend, to move into my apartment. She''s messy, emotional, and way too tempting.
But when the team''s General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can''t think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.
The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.
Having a fake girlfriend wasn''t supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.

I never imagined I''d be living with my best friend''s brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who''s suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy.
Because, well . . . he''s not. He''s controlling of his space and untrusting of others.
Our arrangement isn''t one-sided, though. I''m in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there''s no better date than my ex''s celebrity hero.
Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn''t believe in love.
I''m a romantic and can''t help fantasizing that he''ll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend''s brother was the right move after all . . .
