Resisting the Running Back
A steamy Pro Football, Best Friends to Lovers, Fake Relationship Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.
When my ex exposes my secret romance pen name to my students and my world unravels, I turn desperately to the one person whoās always had my back: my childhood best friend Miller Banks. The pro football running back drops everything, leaving in the middle of his wild Vegas birthday party to be by my side.
With my life in shambles back home, Miller invites me to stay with him in San Diego, offering both a sanctuary and a chance to pursue my writing career since my teaching days are over. Itās the perfect setup with the ultimate book boyfriend, though weāve never crossed that line and never will.
But then I make the mistake of telling my mother that Miller and I are in a relationship, and we tell my ex that weāre engaged. Thankfully Miller plays along, grabbing me into the kind of steamy, soul-shattering kiss I canāt stop thinking about.
As I watch my new roommate work out and cook dinner, itās becoming harder to ignore the chemistry simmering between us. Especially when our āengagementā hits the media and weāre forced to be a happy couple in public, further blurring the line between real and fake.
We canāt cross that line. I have to continue resisting the running back. If I donāt, we could both lose the very thing that matters most to us.
