First and Forever

Tasked with damage control to help his team out of their PR nightmare, MVP Connor Cunningham finds himself in a verbal sparring match with a wronged fan on live TV - colour him intrigued...and attracted. The public is obsessed with them and, in a PR opportunity too good to miss, Connor is pushed to ask Duffy out. The catch: Duffy doesn''t know the date isn''t real. But being with Duffy is easy and soon, it doesn''t feel fake to either of them. Keeping this secret from Duffy is sure to blow up in his face, and if he messes things up with her, it''ll be the greatest fumble of his life.

About the author

Lynn Painter lives with her husband and pack of wild children in Nebraska, where she is a weekly contributor to the Omaha World-Herald and an avid fan of napping. When working on a new book, she can often be found sound asleep on her office floor. Some might say she should grow up and stop randomly dozing off like she's a toddler, but Lynn considers it part of her writing process.
