About this book

The Story

About the Book

The Quarterback Bet is a short college sports romance about fake dating, football pressure, and the girl who sees past the helmet.

Wes Callahan is Havenbrook’s star quarterback. After a reckless party video goes viral, his coach gives him one warning: clean up his image before the championship or risk everything he has worked for.

Mila Avery is the quiet tutor who does not care about his fame, his smile, or his game-winning touchdowns. She is smart, guarded, and completely unimpressed by Wes Callahan.

That is exactly why Wes asks her for help.

The deal is simple. A few public coffee dates. One game appearance. No real feelings. No private pretending. No kissing unless necessary.

But the more time Wes spends with Mila, the harder it becomes to remember what is fake. She sees the pressure he hides from everyone else. He sees the girl behind the careful rules. And when their arrangement is exposed, Wes has to choose between protecting his reputation and telling the truth.

A quick, emotional sports romance with fake dating, college football, heartfelt tension, and a sweet happily ever after.
