The Trustworthy Groom by Cami Checketts

A lonely football player, a damaged bride, and the fake marriage that can heal them both.

Hailey Knight has two choices: fall prey to a predator who is out to own her and destroy her football team, or marry a man she’s just met. True her fake husband can make her quiver with a touch, gets her jokes, and is patience personified, but she knows better than anyone how quickly charm can disappear.

Brady Giles has dealt with a sweetheart stalker for two years and has no hope of shaking the annoyance. Until he’s offered a rare opportunity to marry a high-profile woman for all the wrong reasons. He’d have to be deaf and dumb not to notice how perfect Hailey Knight is and he respects her enough to come to an agreement. Once they announce their marriage, his stalker should fade away.

The marriage is supposed to help them both out of sticky situations but instead turns into a media hailstorm with lies and attacks coming from all sides. When Hailey falls in love with her fake husband and danger lurks around every corner, she knows it’s time to run, but Brady has never given up on an impossible battle.

Can these two trust each other or will the media and predators tear them apart?
