"The chemistry and banter are fire." —Kirkus Reviews

Dani Tsai and Parker Tran grew up inseparable in middle-of-nowhere Silverpine, Oregon. She was the bookish girl, introverted and dreamy. He was the quintessential boy next door: charming, popular, and destined to be a football star. They were an unlikely pair of best friends—until they left for college and their friendship came to an unexpected end.

Seven years later, Dani is pursuing a writing career in New York City when a chance encounter brings her face-to-face with Parker again. He’s now a hotshot sports marketing director on a temporary assignment in New York, having traded his jersey and cleats for designer suits. Even more puzzling is that he seems to think they can be friends again, and try as she might, Dani can’t resist his pull. An impulsive kiss leads to heated nights in his hotel suite. They make a tentative agreement: For three months, they’ll keep things casual, with no strings attached.

It isn't long before the line between lust and something deeper starts to blur. These two were never meant for casual.
