This soccer star is determined to win... his woman's heart.

For millionaire footballer Nikolas Christou, one look is all it takes. The minute he sees Aria Granger, he's a goner. Playboy Nik knows lust--intimately--but his need for Aria goes far beyond that. Of course, the plus-sized beauty isn't interested in romance... but Nik isn't interested in giving up.

Aria Granger has sworn off relationships for her own good. After all, her ex nearly murdered her best friend, so clearly her taste is questionable. When charming, gorgeous Nik bounds into her life, Aria can't decide if he's as innocent as he seems... or if her bullsh*t-ometer is broken.

The super-sweet sports star claims he needs a fake girlfriend to protect him from 'misunderstandings'. And Aria, with her tattoos, piercings and dangerous scowl, fits the bill. But there's no way a guy as handsome as Nik can be that bad at handling relationships. Can he?
