Play Along

RYAN<BR>She's a distraction, that's what she is.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>INDY<BR>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.<BR><BR>Because, well...he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.

I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

Kai ha dimenticato cosa sia il divertimento. Miller ha dimenticato cosa sia una casa. Hanno una sola estate per trovare l'incastro vincente. Per Kai Rhodes, il miglior lanciatore della squadra di baseball di Chicago, diventare papà è stata una sorpresa, ma da quando è arrivato il piccolo Max, Kai ha ridefinito le sue priorità: il baseball rischia di perdere la sua magia se gli impedisce di occuparsi del suo bambino. Per dimostrare a se stesso di essere un buon genitore, Kai licenzia un baby sitter dopo l'altro - nessuno pare all'altezza dei suoi standard. Con l'arrivo dell'estate, è necessario trovare qualcuno che si occupi di Max. Persino il coach della squadra lo pretende, e propone una soluzione: sua figlia, una giovane pasticciera dai tatuaggi appariscenti, gli occhi color giada e... una bocca sfacciata da chiudere a suon di baci. Miller Montgomery si è fatta un nome nel mondo dell'alta pasticceria fino a vincere, a soli venticinque anni, un premio prestigioso. Eppure sembra aver perso l'ispirazione e ora sente il bisogno di una pausa dalla sua vita da giramondo. Da Chicago suo padre, il coach Monty, coglie l'occasione e le propone di aiutare uno dei suoi giocatori per l'estate. Quando incontra Kai Rhodes, Miller capisce di avere davanti un uomo leale, protettivo, ma schiacciato dalle responsabilità al punto da aver dimenticato cosa sia il divertimento. E, da subito, desidera ricordare a quell'uomo terribilmente attraente cosa sia la spensieratezza... magari flirtando un po' con lui. Mentre il loro rapporto acquista una dimensione di fiducia, di quotidianità e di famiglia, anche l'attrazione tra i due divampa rovente. Il problema? Innamorarsi della bella pasticciera è facile, ma Miller ha messo solo in pausa la sua vita da chef di successo, è uno spirito libero che non vorrà mai farsi incastrare. Creare dei legami solidi potrebbe portare Kai solo a farsi spezzare il cuore, o peggio, a spezzare quello di Max. A meno che Miller non capisca che alcuni legami non sono una sconfitta... ma solo un incastro vincente.

HALLIE A los once años, mi familia se mudó al lado de la suya. A los trece, fue mi primer amor. A los dieciséis, nos enamoramos el uno del otro. Y a los diecinueve, nos rompimos mutuamente el corazón. Seis años después, he conseguido unas prácticas con un famoso diseñador de interiores en otra ciudad.

Pensaba que Chicago era lo suficientemente grande como para evitarlo, hasta que me llevo la sorpresa de mi vida y, sin saberlo, me mudo justo a la puerta de al lado. ¿Lo peor? El proyecto de reforma que me han asignado, con el que espero convertir esas prácticas en el trabajo a tiempo completo de mis sueños? ? es su casa. Pero ¿cómo se supone que voy a transformar su nidito de soltero en un hogar familiar cuando ni siquiera soportamos estar en la misma habitación?

Eso hasta que, sin querer, contrato a Hallie Hart para que reforme mi casa y nuestra vieja historia me hace evocar recuerdos que he mantenido en secreto durante años. A ver, hay algo que mis amigos no saben. Esa conexión que perseguía desde que me mudé a Chicago, esa persona a la que algunos buscan durante toda la vida... Yo ya la había encontrado a los doce años. Y, ahora, la única chica a la que he amado se muda a la casa de al lado. Otra vez.
