Playing for Keeps. A completely swoon-worthy, sweet and spicy friends-to-lovers sports romance (en Inglés) - Bella North

It's all fun and games until fake starts to feel like forever...

My life revolves around two things: football, and family. Romance? Not so much. But my fans have other ideas. And they've turned my easy-going life into a nightmare with their campaign to find me a wife...

My childhood best friend Serena thinks it's hilarious. She's always wanted the big, swoony love story, but instead, she has a controlling ex she can't shake breathing down her neck. And then the solution to both our problems hits me: a fake romance. 'Settling down' with Serena will get the fans off my back, and having a muscly football player on her arm should be enough to warn off her ex. Plus, we're best friends, so what could go wrong?

Our first date is set for the city's annual charity ball. I'm smug as I imagine how easy my life will be after tonight. Except, when my lips touch Serena's in front of the flashing cameras, when I hear her soft sigh as I dip her lower, something like panic creeps through my chest. I'm not meant for love-letting people down runs in my genes. I can't do that to Serena. I won't.

As the story we're spinning gets bigger, so do the feelings I've worked so hard to chase away. We want completely different things. But I can't stop wondering: do we both want the one thing that counts-each other?

Playing for Keeps is a fun, steamy, friends-to-lovers sports romance, perfect for fans of Liz Tomforde, Stephanie Archer and Elsie Silver. The third in the Oakwood Ranch series, it can also be read as a standalone.
