Pump Fake: A College Sports Romance
Fall Lake Ballers, book 2

A fake relationship between a fiery teacher and a notorious football star heats up into something dangerously real—but is this game worth the risk?

Brielle

Starting my teaching career as the butt of a prank gone wrong is not how I imagined things going. The hits keep coming when it’s none other than the notorious Ares Bellingham’s nephew who pulls the prank.

Ares, Fall Lake University’s most controversial rising football star, is the last person I expect—or want—to see standing in my classroom, but here he is, infuriatingly smug as he tries to fix things.

Just when I think things can't get worse, my past resurfaces, threatening to disrupt the life I've worked so hard to rebuild.

But Ares has a plan, one that might be worth the Hail Mary he’s throwing my way, and suddenly my life becomes even more complicated.

Ares

One ridiculous mistake almost cost me everything—my shot at the NFL, my reputation, and my family. Now, I’m just inches away from getting benched for good.

My coach is breathing down my neck, the scouts are watching my every move, and I can't afford another fumble.

But when my nephew’s prank lands me in Brielle Sinclair’s crosshairs, the fiery teacher with a no-nonsense attitude, I’m suddenly facing another fourth-and-long.

She needs help running interference on her past, and I need…well, I need her.

The Play

It’s simple, really.

I’ll be her pretend boyfriend to keep her tormentors at bay, and she’ll help me show the world I’m not the PR nightmare they think I am.

But as we spend more time together, faking it becomes harder, especially with sparks flying whenever I’m near her.

I’m ready to fight for her, but will she let me prove that what we have is more than just a game?

Pump Fake is a fake relationship, one-night stand turned friends with benefits, college sports romance, filled with all the heat and angst you crave—without any cliffhangers.

Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance
Fall Lake Ballers, book 1

When you have everything, there's nothing more dangerous than a secret.

Kylian Wilder has it all: a promising football career, a penthouse apartment, and the world at his feet. But behind his public persona lies a young man burdened by his mother's terminal illness and the manipulative demands of his politician father. Kylian's life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers Gia Mason hiding on his boat, a mysterious woman on the run with secrets as dark as his own.

Gia is desperate to escape her past and find safety, but the last place she expects to land is in the arms of a football star. When Kylian offers her a deal—pretend to be his girlfriend to fulfill his mother's dying wish—Gia reluctantly agrees, seeing it as her only way out. What starts as a convenient arrangement quickly ignites into a passionate and tumultuous relationship, forcing Kylian and Gia to confront their deepest fears and desires.

As their worlds collide, Kylian and Gia must navigate the treacherous waters of love, trust, and betrayal. With Kylian's career and family legacy on the line, and Gia's past threatening to destroy everything they've built together, they must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome the obstacles in their way.

Can Kylian and Gia find a way to build a future together, or will the secrets and lies of their past tear them apart?

Perfect for fans of sports romance, fake relationships, and second chances, Quarterback Keeper is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will keep you rooting for Kylian and Gia until the very last page.
