Descrição da editora
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lynn Painter comes an utterly irresistible romantic comedy about a football star and his team’s die-hard fan who find themselves entangled in a PR stunt that only one of them knows is fake.
Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyote football. So after she gets booed out of a game and becomes the internet’s villain following an awful encounter with the team’s beloved mascot, she is disgruntled, to put it mildly. Eager to clear the air, Duffy agrees to an interview on a hit morning show. She doesn’t expect a co-guest to join her—especially not the Coyotes’ star tight end.
When MVP Connor Cunningham gets tasked with damage control to help his team out of a PR nightmare, he finds himself in a highly amusing verbal sparring match with a recently wronged fan on live TV. The interview instantly goes viral, and the public is obsessed with them. Despite his distaste for PR stunts, a strong push from the Coyotes’ PR team to ride the wave results in Connor asking Duffy out. But he quickly discovers being with Duffy is much easier than he anticipated, and somehow it doesn’t feel fake to him. This secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it’ll be the greatest fumble of his life.
Oozing with chemistry that feels like fireworks and banter that makes you swoon, Lynn Painter delivers her signature blend of heart and humor in this love story that you won’t soon forget.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A pro football team's publicity crisis leads to unexpected love in this diverting sports romance from Painter (The Love Wager). After a video of Duffy Distefano appearing to attack the mascot of the Minneapolis Coyotes during a game goes viral, she's invited onto a morning talk show to explain her side of the story: the Coyote got handsy and she was defending herself. Coyotes tight end Connor Cunningham also shows up at the talk show, and their sparky on-air sparring belies an attraction that fans are quick to pick up on. With the team scrambling to do damage control in the wake of Duffy's allegations, its publicist suggests Connor ask Duffy out to generate some good PR. The pair enjoy a sizzling first date and Connor is eager to keep seeing her, but Duffy is hesitant to stay in the public eye and doubtful of Connor's sincerity. Connor sets out to win her over and eventually succeeds, becoming an integral part of her life and her close-knit family—but their happy ending will be in jeopardy if she ever discovers why he initially asked her out. Painter's characters feel authentic, and their witty banter leaps off the page. Readers are sure to root for these two.
