The Quarterback's One-Night Stand

Enemies-to-Lovers Forced Proximity Romance

I had her once - my best friend’s little sister

And now I have to pretend I don’t want her every damn second.

Poppy Hayes was off-limits. Too wild. Too tied to the one person I owe everything to. My Best friend's little sister.

But one night, she kissed me like she meant it and I lost control.

I had her tangled in sheets, moaning my name. Told myself it was a mistake. Then she moved in.

Now I hear her in the shower. See her in that damn towel and I remember everything.

When the press catches us too close, we fake a relationship to fix my image.

But nothing about us feels fake: not the heat, not the tension, not the way she looks at me like I’m more than my past.

She pushes my buttons and pulls me in until her smug ex shows up, and I deck him. One punch. One viral video. One exploding scandal.

If I can’t protect her, I don’t just lose my comeback, I lose the only woman I’ve ever really wanted.
