Wir stecken beide in der Klemme. Die Lösung? Playing the fake Couple  James Fast hätte ich mir eine Zukunft in der NFL verbaut. Deshalb befolge ich ab sofort zwei Regeln: Erstens: Nichts und niemand darf mich vom Football ablenken. Zweitens: Ich muss den Kurs wiederholen, den ich am College vermasselt habe. Aber das schaffe ich nicht ohne Beckett Woods. Sie ist klug, ambitioniert - und meine einzige Chance, an der University zu bleiben! Leider ist Bex verdammt stur. Und sie hat eine Bedingung: Ich soll ihren Freund spielen, damit sie ihren Ex endgültig loswird. Eigentlich easy. Aber nur eigentlich. Denn Bex ist genau mein Typ. BexMit Sportlern bin ich endgültig durch. Und James Callahan bildet da keine Ausnahme. Als er mich um Nachhilfe bittet, lehne ich rigoros ab. Doch dann kommt mir ein genialer Gedanke: Ich helfe ihm, wenn er im Gegenzug meinen Fake-Boyfriend spielt. Nur so kapiert mein verlogener Ex und Teamkollege von James endlich, dass ich über ihn hinweg bin. Zum Glück sind James und ich uns einig, dass Gefühle das Letzte sind, was wir gerade gebrauchen können. Klingt ganz einfach. Aber nach jedem Blick, jeder Berührung, jedem Kuss fühlt sich Fake weniger gespielt an. Und ich weiß nicht, wie lange ich meine Fassade noch aufrecht erhalten kann. 'Prickelnde Atmosphäre und unglaubliche Spannung ... Grace Reilly ist die Queen der Sports-Romance!' STEPHANIE ARCHER  'First Down' ist eine Football Romance mit viel Spice, College Vibes und Happy End.
