A confident, plus size CEO running a billion dollar company and the country's best professional quarterback... it sounds like the ultimate power couple, if it wasn't all pretend.

Fake dating was not in the plan this year. Especially since I hardly have time for actual dating.

That is until Ford Madigan makes me an offer I can't refuse: a fake relationship that will benefit us both. He'll get away from the team owner's entitled daughter while I score some points with members of the company's board who love him more than they hate me.

It all seems like a simple business transaction-make a few public appearances and pretend we're in love until we both get what we want.

The problem is... I find out he's more than just another jock. He's a humanitarian using his fortune to help kids all over Texas. Not to mention, he isn't intimidated by my success like most men.

Now I want more from him. I want something real.

But scars from his past keep him from risking his heart a second time.

I haven't gotten where I am in life from settling, but I'm also not the kind of woman who will wait around for a man to realize what's right in front of him.

Will he make this relationship more? Or will I be the one who got away?
