RYAN Sheās a distraction, thatās what she is. Iām the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicagoās NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sisterās best friend, to move into my apartment. Sheās messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the teamās 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 canāt think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasnāt 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. INDY I never imagined Iād be living with my best friendās brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend whoās suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, wellā¦heās not. Heās controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isnāt one-sided, though. Iām in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and thereās no better date than my exās celebrity hero. 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 doesnāt believe in love. Iām a romantic and canāt help fantasizing that heāll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friendās brother was the right move after all
