Laughter follows in this second chance romance where pretend dating leads to secret relationships and a whole lot more. Lexi As a curvy American girl spending her senior year in Japan, the last thing Lexi expected was to find a guy. So, when Forrest Wolf, the drop-dead gorgeous American star of Japan’s baseball league, crossed the bar to meet her, you can excuse her skepticism. The man was used to thousands of people chanting his name every night. No, she immediately shut him cocky ass down… his incredibly tight, cocky ass… how long had it been since she had had sex, again? Why is it that after a girl gives in to a guy, and they have the most incredibly night of their lives, the guy could beg the girl for her number and then still not call?

And, would Lexi mind pretending to be his girlfriend to convince his boss that their night together meant nothing to him? Forrest has never fallen in love with a guy before. And, as sexy and charming as Bradley is, Forrest needs to keep a tight grip on his heart.
