Greyson Meyers can't afford the distraction of a relationship. His focus is football and earning his degree to ensure his mom never has to work another day. Mila Atwool has it all together-at least, that's what everyone thinks. But after an incident fractured her safety and trust last year, Mila's been struggling to maintain appearances. The two strike a deal: Mila will pose as his girlfriend to make his life appear better balanced so he can earn a sponsorship, and in turn, Grey will train her in self-defense to help her rebuild a sense of security. Two and a half years of friendship ensured their fake relationship would be a safe bet-or so they thought. But what was a simmering tension quickly boils over, and both are terrified of getting burned. They realize this new zone may be impossible to escape unscathed.
