False Start - Neve Wilder

If only my feelings were as fake as this "relationship" with my former teammate.

CULLEN: I've been the NFL's "problem child" since my rookie year. If there's trouble, I'll find it.

But my biggest weakness has always been Houston McRae. We were secretly together in college before it blew up in our faces.

So, when I see him again years later, you'd think I'd know better than to end up in an airport bathroom stall tearing his clothes off.

To make matters worse, because of mistakes I've made, I find out afterward I'm being traded. to Denver.

Where Houston lives. Because of course.

I'm not taking responsibility for the two of us ending up in a fake relationship. That's all on him, but I can't pretend I won't enjoy it. As long as I don't let myself fall for him again, I'll be fine, right?

HOUSTON: I lived, breathed, and slept football until an injury sidelined me for life. Now I'm solely focused on finding my place again. until Cullen Atwood walks back into my life and tempts me into an airport bathroom stall, where every ounce of passion for him I thought I'd buried returns with a vengeance.

Now he's playing for the Rush.

And staying in my apartment.

And did I mention he's also my fake boyfriend who makes it clear he still wants me every chance he gets?

I've got my future to think about, though, and we're one wrong move from becoming a tabloid headline. I can't afford to think of Cullen as anything more than a casual hook-up.

So why do I keep wishing this relationship was real?

False Start is a low angst, high-heat sports romance in the Playing for Keeps series.
