USA Today Bestseller
Welcome to McKee University in this spicy adult sports romance, first in the BookTok sensation Beyond the Play series.
Tutoring the star quarterback in exchange for a few fake dates won’ t lead to anything more… right?
James
Football is my everything. I live, eat, breathe the sport. But when I transfer to McKee University to escape the distractions that nearly cost me my future in the NFL, I’ m faced with another consequence: retake and pass the writing class I failed at my last college or lose any chance I have at making it big. That’ s where fellow senior Beckett Wood— gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type— comes in.
She’ s the key to my success in this class… but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway.
Bex
I don’ t mess around with athletes— I’ ve already learned that lesson— and at first glance, handsome, self-assured James Callahan is no exception. He wants me to help him pass the writing class we’ re both stuck taking, but I’ m too busy to take on yet another responsibility. But when his teammate— my cheating ex— won’ t leave me alone, I realize I need to convince him I’ ve moved on… and what better way than by pretending to be with James, who wants nothing to do with a real relationship?
Yet with every fake kiss, James pulls me deeper into a place that thrills and terrifies me. Why does he make me feel alive like no one else has?
And why don’ t I want it to end?
