Playing the Field by Mackenzie Gray

A fake relationship. A secret identity. What could go wrong?I have a problem—a thousand dollar problem. As a sociology student working on my senior thesis, I’m on track to graduate with highest honors. But unless I pay the tuition owed to the university, it’s bye bye summa cum laude, hello crushing debt. Enter star soccer player Mitchell Burns. The first time we met, I was Hot Rebecca. The second time, I was Not Rebecca. Aka, the persona I don to collect research for my thesis. Kitten sweaters. Wool skirts. The whole shebang. Needless to say, he didn’t recognize me. It turns out Mitchell’s looking for a fake girlfriend, and he’s willing to pay. Fake relationship for a cool grand? It’s a win-win for both. The only problem is, the person he’s dating—Not Rebecca—isn’t real. He has no idea he’s a subject in my research project. He doesn’t know the girl he’s falling for is a lie. I need to decide what’s more important: my degree, or my heart. Otherwise, I might lose both.
