My best friend's annoying brother, some spilled tea, and a crazy proposition.

Josh Owen's is the top receiver in the NFL, with a bad boy reputation. He's click bait fodder for any, and all, gossip columns.

A released video shows us “kissing”, and the news is spreading like wildfire.

Now me, “good girl” Brie, is in the rumor mills with him.

His agent sees this as a golden opportunity for Josh to get on better terms with his team.

I think it's crazy, but Josh needs help.

In spite of our love-hate relationship, I agree to be his “girlfriend”.

Spending time with him, I get to know the real person, not just the one who's constantly pushing my buttons.

I can't deny that I don't hate him.

In fact, I like him.

A lot.

As fake kisses feel more real, Josh brings up making “us” a reality.

Only one problem.

When my parents died, my heart went on lock down.

Can the bane of my existence be the one who's had the key all along?
