Resisting the Running Back

By: Lisa Suzanne

Release Date: June 12th, 2025

When my ex exposes my secret romance pen name to my students and my world unravels, I turn desperately to the one person who's always had my back: my childhood best friend Miller Banks. The pro football running back drops everything, leaving in the middle of his wild Vegas birthday party to be by my side.

With my life in shambles back home, Miller invites me to stay with him in San Diego, offering both a sanctuary and a chance to pursue my writing career since my teaching days are over. It's the perfect setup with the ultimate book boyfriend, though we've never crossed that line and never will.

But then I make the mistake of telling my mother that Miller and I are in a relationship, and we tell my ex that we're engaged. Thankfully Miller plays along, grabbing me into the kind of steamy, soul-shattering kiss I can't stop thinking about.

As I watch my new roommate work out and cook dinner, it's becoming harder to ignore the chemistry simmering between us. Especially when our "engagement" hits the media and we're forced to be a happy couple in public, further blurring the line between real and fake.

We can't cross that line. I have to continue resisting the running back. If I don't, we could both lose the very thing that matters most to us.
