    About this audiobook

    Smart and athletic, Amy Kimball should have it all, but her life's in a tailspin. She's working two menial jobs to make ends meet, barely a paycheck away from financial disaster, and women aren't exactly lining up at her door.

    Enter soccer star Diego Torres, who's keeping a big secret: he's gay. His manager fears that if he's found out, his endorsements and his chance to play for the national team will evaporate into the wind.

    Amy jumps at the chance to act as Diego's fake fiancee, even though it means signing her life away in a non-disclosure agreement. On the surface, the job couldn't be better: the money's great; the living accommodations are luxurious, and she gets to watch her favorite soccer team from the players' box at the stadium.

    But she soon realizes that this new life is even harder to navigate than her old one. Diego's manager is as sleazy as they come, and this easy job soon turns complicated, possibly even dangerous. More important, all the lies Amy is forced to tell are starting to eat away at her soul, especially when she finds herself attracted to Casey Palmer, Diego's pretty assistant.

    Will Amy find the courage to get back into the game?

    Contains mature themes.

      I listened to this audiobook. I found it enjoyable. Abby Craden was excellent as usual. I caught a few small mistakes but don't know if they were the author's or narrator's. The story is fun but also deep. I didn't really find any faults with the story. The characters all seemed very likable and real. I just hope the Simon situation improves. I'm just going to imagine that it does. This was a short book but compelling. I'm glad there is a happy ending all around. I liked the soccer bits. And I loved Mia and foot golf. Is that really a thing? I loved Dulce. I also loved the main characters' realizations at the end about life and how they want to live it.

      Cute story about a soccer player not wanting anyone to know he was gay. He had a fake marriage engagement relationship with a gay female. It’s really lower than a four but I enjoyed it a lot and Abby Craden was marvelous. The only knock was that the female romance happened too easily and quickly.
