All-Star linebacker Frank Kelly is as well-known for his off-the-field hits as he is for his on-field ones. When a dance club brawl ends with him in handcuffs again, he's rescued by a well-connected woman who can get the charges dropped in exchange for a small favor. If he'll agree to play the part of a doting boyfriend for two months, she'll keep him out of the slammer and help restore his reputation.

Kiana Dyer may be the daughter of a Hall of Fame football player, but the charity organization she took over when he died isn't getting the media attention she'd hoped for. A staged romance with Frank Kelly is just the ticket she needs to get in the spotlight. As the lines between fake and real start to blur, she begins to wonder if bailing him out was the best call she's ever made. Just when everything seems to be falling perfectly in place, scandal surrounds her charity, and she's the one left scrambling to clear her name.
