Josie Addams loved her childhood best friend too much to keep him from pursuing his dreams. When Mick Murphy shared he was going to Vegas to train to be a professional boxer, Josie sent him away. Every day since then, she’s regretted it but she can’t change course now when he’s on the cusp of going pro. She knows once he’s in the limelight, she’ll lose him forever.

Mick Murphy has loved Josie Addams for as long as he can remember. He wanted to take her with him to Las Vegas, but she was the only one who took care of her sick dad. Now Mick is learning to fight: for family, for fortune, but most of all, for her.

Vasey Hamlin has been loved and forgotten. West is part of her past and she’s determined to keep him there. It doesn’t matter how many sweet memories he rekindles. There’s only pain at the end of the rainbow. There’s no way he’ll get her to stay.

Weston Evers knows a lot about the art of a deal. He’s managed to parlay his meager army earnings into a financial empire. He can size up an opponent in one look and take him down in the next. What he can’t seem to do is convince his old love that he’s back for good but he’ll do anything to get her to say she’ll stay forever.

Griff Harris took one look at the sexy burglar at his friends business and knew he had to have her. Winning her required more tactical manuevers and persuasion than he had been trained for. Setting up a security system or providing body guard services was a cake walk compared to wooing Lauren and handling her troubled brother. Griff doesn't mind. His sole goal is to make her stay.

Lauren Murphy knows better than to climb into the beefy arms of the security specialist who caught her in a bad situation. She has too much on her plate from trying to keep a roof over her head to making sure her brother stays out of jail. There's no time in her life for the sexy man with the blue eyes and body to die for. Her hormones and her heart are screaming for her to let go, but her head knows better. But no matter how hard she tries to get away, his attention is making her want to stay.

Van

Fleur is a hottie with red hair and freckles. I want to kiss every freckle and hold that red hair in my fist. Unfortunately, she hates jocks and, more specifically, me but I've got a plan to make her fall in love. I need a fake girlfriend to fend off the other girls at school so I can spend time focusing on winning the State title. It's a long shot but sometimes in relationships, like football, you have to throw that Hail Mary pass.

Fleur

Van is a hottie with broad shoulders and a wicked grin. Every girl wants to kiss that grin and hold onto those broad shoulders. For some reason, he keeps following me around. He says that he needs a fake girlfriend to fend off the other girls. I think it's a lie, but I'm willing to go along with it. It's my senior year and I deserve to have a little fun. I know nothing will come of it because relationships aren't like football where one dominant player can make you a winner. Instead, it takes two and I know my heart is the only one on the line.

CAL

I walked in to a cafe and found the woman of my dreams. So I did what any man would do in my situation. I lied. I told her I was broke despite the fact I'm one of the richest men in the city. I told her I needed a place to live even though I own several apartment buildings. The good thing is she asked me to pretend to be her fiancé to gain control of the home of her dreams. The bad thing is that I'm going to have to convince her that this contract is for life.

HARLOW

My grandmother left me her condo but the board won't allow me to keep it unless I can prove I'm married. Since the last time I dated was when dinosaurs walked the earth, I did what any normal woman would do in this situation. I put out an ad. I didn't expect the man who showed up would be more attractive than all the men on television put together. The good thing is he's dirt poor and is forced to sign an agreement to be my fake fiancé for a year. The bad thing is I'm falling in love with my contract man.
