Priscilla has a plan. And falling for Oliver was not on her to-do list.

The Job

Event planner Priscilla Cain has been asked to plan her best friend Tina’s dream wedding proposal to her boyfriend, Ryan.

The Catch

It looks like groom-to-be Ryan might just beat her to it.

The Solution

Team up with Ryan’s obnoxious, but gorgeous, best friend Oliver to plan a joint proposal. But keep their unlikely alliance a secret from both their friends.

But as Oliver and Priscilla work together to pull off the proposal of the year, could there be more than one happily ever after on the cards.

❤️ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐲 @authorelysekelly 𝐢𝐬 𝐅-𝐑-𝐄-𝐄 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟐-𝟔!

The man I hate the most just crashed my dream date. So, how did I end up in a secluded cabin with him for the next two weeks?

Everyone thinks my brother’s best friend is gorgeous, charming, and oh so debonair. But to me, Vince Moretti is just the guy I followed around as a kid with hearts in my eyes, trailing behind him like a love-sick puppy. The guy who had absolutely no interest in his friend’s kid sister, and broke my heart on my eighteenth birthday.

You would think ten years would be plenty of time to get over my school-girl crush, especially when Vince goes out of his way to annoy and pester me every chance he gets. But the moment I find myself deep in a dangerous situation, the sexy former special-ops leader bolts into action, vowing to keep me safe at all costs. I just didn’t expect him to hide me away in his private cabin on the other side of the country.

Now, we’re here in Sycamore Mountain, and I’m struggling to keep my eyes off Vince’s corded muscles and six-pack abs. But what shocks me the most is how he can’t keep his eyes off me either. Suddenly, he’s not so annoying anymore. And the man I thought I wanted nothing to do with is now lying in bed with me after the hottest night I’ve ever had.

That leaves me with just one question… what happens when it’s time to go home?

Why you will love this book:
🏈sports romance
🏈opposites attract
🏈they meet on a dating app
🏈single mom
🏈football romance

Bestselling author Sara Ney scores with a fiery romance about online dating, where a single mom and a football pro ignite sparks when they swipe right—even though they know it’s all wrong.

Margot’s a busy single mom juggling teaching, parenting, and trying not to die alone. Dating apps? Total nightmare. But desperate times call for desperate swipes, even if they make her break out in stress hives. When she matches with a guy who looks too good to be true, she’s convinced he’s a walking red flag—or worse—a catfish.

Dex is hot, and he knows it. A quarterback with a killer smile and looks to spare, he’s a good guy looking for a long-term relationship. He wants what his friends have: someone to come home to…and if they’re naked when he gets there, even better. When he logs on for a casual scroll, he’s not expecting to meet her. One swipe, and suddenly he’s hooked.

Margot’s convinced he’s a catfish. Dex has zero dad bod and no dad energy. But their sizzling back-and-forth leaves them both thinking “what if.” After a surprise run-in leads to a mind-blowing (and soggy AF) kiss, their opposites-attract energy skyrockets. Can they find a way to make it last?
