What\u2019s better than a revenge date? A revenge husband.<\/p>\n
Pro quarterback Ryan Ralston has always known two things. First, he\u2019s desperately in love with his best friend Emme Ahlborg. Second\u2013and most importantly\u2013he still has no idea how to tell her. The marriage pact they made in their senior yearbook was the closest he ever came.<\/p>\n
Years passed and Emme forgot about their promise. Ryan never did, especially not on his thirtieth birthday. Emme can\u2019t catch a break. Always unlucky in love, her cheating ex is a groomsman in her best friend\u2019s wedding\u2014and there\u2019s no way she\u2019s showing up alone. Ryan offers her the one thing better than a wedding date: a revenge husband. And he\u2019s not just any fake husband but the NFL\u2019s brightest star\u2026and in need of serious reputation rehab. Playing the part of the happy couple comes easy and soon enough, the lines between real and fake blur. They disappear altogether when there\u2019s just one bed.<\/p>\n
All Ryan has to do is save Emme from her ex, find her step-sister an internship, and get his wife to fall in love with him\u2014or fumble the one thing he\u2019s ever wanted: her heart.<\/p>\n
