Rucked Up Ruse: A Fake Dating Rugby Romance (Scottish Rugby Rebels)
She’s faking it to save her job. He’s faking it to save himself. Falling for each other? Not part of the game plan.
FINN
Sure, I’m the Stirling Rebels’ bad boy. But my latest bender might have pushed it too far. If I don't clean up my act, I lose rugby – the only thing I have left. My agent's idea? A fake relationship with the woman who does my social media. But as the paparazzi close in, the hardest part isn't the lie. It’s pretending I don't want her for real.
THEO
My narcissistic ex destroyed my confidence; I won't let Finn Lennox' escapades destroy my career. To save the sports management agency and my job, I have to convince the world that Scottish rugby’s most notorious player is a reformed man. That means moving in together. That means selling a lie. But beneath the swagger, there’s a man I didn't expect. And I'm not sure how long I can resist him.
