One minute Scarlett is catching her fiance in bed with another woman and the next she's getting caught in a storm that ends up being the most passionate night of her life. That is until she finds out that her one night stand isn't just her bestfriend's brother, he's also super start footballer Jett Heathrow. She tells herself it was a one time thing and it's most definitely not going to happen again. What she never factored in is getting into a fake relationship with Jett. As the line between real and pretend starts to blur, Scarlett has to decide what's most important to her, protecting her heart or fighting for the man she loves.

Honestly, he'd have been stupid to try to go up against a man like Jett, who was way bigger and looked every inch a viking. "You have three seconds to get out of here," Jett said in a cold voice. Paul glanced over his shoulder at me, "Seriously? These are the kind of assholes you surround yourself with now?" A moment later, recognition filled his face, "Wait a minute, aren't you Jett Heathrow? The football_"The taller man had had enough. He reached forward, grasped my ex by the collar and tossed him out the door before banging it shut on his stunned face. I was at a loss of words. How had he found me here? "What the hell are you doing here? I'm sorry, but you have to leave. I have an appointment and I can't deal with whatever this is right now," I snapped, "I had no idea who you were, okay? And you don't nee
Scarlett"I hope you're not still mad that I didn't tell you my brother is Jett Heathrow," Jen said over the phone two days later. "Of course not," I said while clicking away on my laptop."It's just that after years of seeing girls and guys too befriend me just so they could get to him, hiding it became instinctive," she chuckled dryly, "And he's been going by my mum's last name ever since, so it was easy to not connect the dots." And also the fact that Jett Heathrow was six feet five with solid muscle, while she was five feet and a hundred and twenty pounds soaking wet. The truth is that I didn't care that her brother was a superstar football player who made my entire year salary in like two weeks. She didn't owe me her family history or anything. My major concern was that I now knew what her brother sounded like when he came, and that was...a problem. I'd done my best to avoid Jett throughout the weekend at her parents' house and had managed to get away with it and run back to
Scarlett "Hello?" I asked softly as I stepped out of the bathroom half an hour later, "Are you awake?" "Yeah," the man said from the bed. A second later, the bedside light came on, washing the room in a soft glow, "Apparently nothing can be done about the tiny bed tonight. I had had a feeling that that would be the case. The man rolled over a little bit, offering me some space, "Go to sleep. It's just for a few hours." Staring at the tiny space warily, I crossed over to the bed and joined him. One side of my body was completely pressed against his, and I could feel the warmth of his body seeping into me. "You're freezing." He pointed out. I let out a huff, "I wasted too much time trying to resurrect my broken phone and forgot that the shower was running. By the time I got in, the hot water had run out." "Ouch." He winced."Yeah. Today sucks." I sighed, "no, in fact, this whole month has sucked so bad." "Wanna tell me about it?" He asked softly. When I turned my head to the si
Scarlett"Thank you again for letting me stay with you. I really appreciate it." I said as I trailed the man up the stairs. I didn't still know his name, and honestly, I wasn't sure he wanted me to know. I didn't let myself worry too much about it though. Nothing was going to happen between us. Absolutely nothing. "No problem at all." He shrugged. He had insisted on carrying my duffel along with his, so he had to switch everything to one hand to unlock the door. Finally, he pushed the door open and stepped in. "Damn," I heard him mutter under his breath. Confused, I stepped in behind him and came to a halt. The room was neatly decorated and looked cozy. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was the tiny bed situated at the center of it.The bed looked like it wouldn't even fit the gigantic man properly talk more of the two of us. "Where's the rest of the bed? Tell me this is a prank or something," hysterical laughter bubbled up inside me. "It'd better be.""There's no way we
Scarlett"You can't drive in this storm, Scar. You're going to get yourself killed." My best friend hissed at me through the phone. "Trust me, I know that." I replied, pulling over in front of the motel. It was the first one I had come across in miles, and I was relieved that I didn't have to keep driving. I'd almost fallen into a ditch earlier, "I just found a motel. I'll call you when I get settled." "Okay, keep me updated." She said before hanging up. Jen and I had met last year at my ex fiance's office party and since then we had been inseparable. I don't know what I'd have done if she hadn't been there after I'd found out Paul was a lying, cheating snake two weeks ago. I'd moved in with her and she had kept me distracted. Which was how I found myself stuck in the storm on my way to her parents' house for their anniversary. Sighing, I climbed out the car, my duffel in hand and hunched into my jacket, hurrying into the building before I could get completely soaked. Inside the
