Waiting To Score

** WINNER - ROMANTIC BOOK OF THE YEAR - SHORT CONTEMPORARY with Romance Writer's of Australia!**

EMILY 'MONTY' MONTGOMERY

When I walked up to the closest guy on the quad and mauled him with my mouth to escape my overzealous ex-boyfriend, I had no idea he was the stupidly hot star of the Pierson University basketball team.

So what if it was the hottest accidental make-out of my life? West Wright has just as many scores on his headboard as he does on the court. And I have no desire to be one of many.

But when my ex turns to outright stalking, West's unexpected offer to play the role of fake boyfriend suddenly seems like a safe bet.

I have a few rules to throw down though, because despite his killer charm, I have no intention of getting involved with a guy like West for real, no matter how hard he tries to shoot his shot.

WEST WRIGHT

It's not like girls throwing themselves at me is a new thing, but the hot brunette with legs for days who jumped me in the quad definitely caught me off guard.

Shame my eyes are firmly on the prize-making it to the NBA. Which means I don't have time for relationships. Even fake ones.

But after one hot kiss that hit harder than a three-point buzzer-beater, I can't get Monty out of my head. And I want her between my sheets.

Next thing I know I'm her campus knight, offering to fake date her under the guise of getting her ex-boyfriend off her back. So why does this relationship suddenly feel real? And why aren't I bolting in the other direction?
