"Sophie
When I met Seb, my life changed completely—mostly for the better. When we're alone, it's magical. He's the most loving, attentive man in the world. Unfortunately part of being married to a famous man is having everyone in your business. It wasn't too bad at first, but now there's someone on social media telling the world about the most private parts of our lives. Everyone's talking about it. And now I can't go anywhere without being recognized. It's exhausting, and honestly, I'm not sure how much longer I can take it.

For me, the worst part about being a professional athlete is the fame. Hands down. Nothing else even comes close. I'm a quiet guy. I'm even a little bit shy. The attention is overwhelming at times, but I deal with it because it's part of my job description. But now my fame is affecting Sophie. People are starting to harass her. And that can't happen. She's more important to me than anything—baseball included. I've told her I'll quit playing the second she tells me it's too much—that very second. Even if it's in the middle of the World Series.

I haven't spent much time with Sophie since we were kids. When we started high school, we headed in different directions and never looked back. She invited me to her wedding this weekend. I don't want to go because despite all our years apart, I know one thing hasn't changed: her mission to find me the perfect man. I've told her I don't have time for dating, but she never listens. I'm guessing she's going to be pushing some guy at me the minute I get off the plane.

My teammate Seb's getting married this weekend. I'm happy for him, but I can't relate to it at all. He wants to spend the rest of his life with Sophie. I don't even want to spend the rest of the night with the women who end up in my bed. I'm fine with that, but for some reason, Sophie's not. Even with my best efforts to stop it, she's been trying to find me love since the day we met. She told me one of her childhood friends is coming to the wedding, so I'm guessing that's who I'll be hiding from all weekend.
It's all fun and games until someone catches feelings.

"Three days. One fake marriage. And chemistry that doesn't feel pretend at all.
Have you ever been kissed so hard that your brain short-circuited? Yeah… me too. That's probably how I ended up at my friend's wedding with a fake husband in tow.
Here's the story: I ducked into a cute little town for some liquid courage—and ran straight into my college frenemies. After listening to them drone on about my ex bringing his perfect fiancée, I downed a shot of tequila and made a beeline for the door.
That's when I found myself corralled into the arms of Nix Fuller—former Chicago hockey star, all sharp jawlines and dangerous confidence—who practically inhaled me with a kiss before announcing he was my plus one. My husband, apparently.
It should've ended there. One fiery kiss. One impulsive lie.
But since the mean girls were watching, I decided to dive headfirst into the role of happy fake wife. I mean, it's only for three days. What could possibly go wrong?
Except Nix is far too good at this game.
Every look he gives, every touch that lingers, sets my heart—and everything else—on fire.
Until the lines blur… and this fake marriage starts to feel a little too real."
"A steamy rom com. Seb's the most famous baseball player in the world. Sophie's not impressed. Game on.
Sophie
When we graduated from college, my friends and I made a pact that we would only play Truth or Tequila five more times—at each of our bachelorette parties. Tonight's number four and it couldn't come at a worse time. I have a meeting with a new client tomorrow. I can't be hungover. I'm already at a disadvantage with the client. I'm not much of a sports fan. I don't even know who the players are, but I guess I'll worry about that tomorrow. Tonight, it seems that, once again, I'm destined for tequila and bad decisions.
Seb
Don't get me wrong, I like being a professional athlete. I just wish it didn't come with so much fame. All eyes are on me as I walk into the bar—except for one pair. And they're attached to a gorgeous woman. I don't think she has any idea who I am. I spend most of the night trying to figure out how to talk to her when suddenly she lands in my lap. She's playing a drinking game with her friends and has to get me to kiss her to win. I want to kiss her but not when she's this flat-out drunk. I'd at least like her to remember our first kiss.
