When the esteemed director of her breakout role suggests a deep dive for her part by shadowing the head of a struggling pro soccer team, she jumps at the chance to prove she's ready. Getting asked out by notorious grump and gorgeous star player Luke Wolfe wasn't in the plan, but suddenly her research is getting a lot more...hands-on.

Furious, Abigail refuses to give Luke the satisfaction of dumping him-she decides to get even. Over-the-top dates, treating his games like fashion shows, and befriending the fan club he hates?

The Lucy before the accident. Each day, I have to complete some ridiculous challenge, usually involving something embarrassing or new.

The hardest one yet—fighting my growing feelings for a man who is clearly not boyfriend material.
