No More Horrible Dates

My last date ended at a wake. My next one? Fake dating the country's most notorious rugby player. My love life is officially a disaster. As in accidentally blasting "Hello from the Other Side" at a wake… on a first date… and then knocking over the flowers on my way out. So yeah. Not great, and now I've decided I'm done with dating. Unfortunately, my career has other plans. Because when New Zealand rugby's most infamous bad boy lands in hot water,his team comes up with a solution: He needs a girlfriend, a normal girlfriend, one the public will actually like. And somehow, that girlfriend is me. The deal is simple. We pretend to be together. He cleans up his reputation. I get the kind of exposure that could finally launch my dream fashion career.It's strictly business. Except Nick Zachary isn't the reckless, arrogant player I expected, and the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember what's real and what's just for show. But I've been burned before. I don't trust my judgment when it comes to men. And falling for the wrong guy? That's kind of my thing. So this time, I'm sticking to the plan. No feelings. No mistakes. No more horrible dates. Which would be a great strategy if I wasn't already starting to fall for him.
