The Score: A Friends to Lovers, Fake Marriage Sports Romance (The Seattle Strike)

A fake marriage to my best friend is a temporary measure. My dad dreams of walking me down the aisle. With his health now at risk, who better than Leon "Bear" Karlsen to step up and be my pretend husband? All we have to do is act like we're suddenly in love. Me, a cynic who swore off dating years ago, and my childhood friend, a tattooed pro football player with the highest romantic standards known to humankind. Now we kiss, share a bedroom, and deal with accidental encounters in the shower. Until we make a deal. Friendship above all, but we'll have fun in bed. For a while. Bear may call me his wife in front of his teammates, but he's seeking the kind of romance my jaded heart can't provide. I'm his best friend. I can't keep him tied to me. I would rather break my own heart than risk losing what we have.
