Rumor Has It (Real Love, #4) / Real Love (ePub)

This is one bad boy who's fit to print. A notorious jock tackles life-and love-after football with a type-A journalist in this sexy bad-boy romcom.

As a former pro football star, Barrett Fox is used to playing the field. After injuries cut his NFL career short, his second act as a broadcaster ended when a hot mic moment got him cancelled. But this latest publicity stunt might just land him back on top-much to the chagrin of Catarina Everhart, the uptight, beautiful journalist who's been assigned to date a "bad boy" and tell the tale. She swears he'll never touch her, let alone kiss her, which is exactly the kind of challenge Barrett is up for…

The cocky egomaniac assigned to partner with Catarina on this project seems to be doing everything in his power to make her hate him. Barrett is infamous for his bad behavior, and now, thanks to her boss's harebrained schemes, he's apparently Catarina's problem. But as one fake date leads to another, she starts to see a different side of Barrett that the public doesn't know about. He's close with his family. He does volunteer work. He kisses like a dream. Risking her hard-won reputation is one thing, but risking her heart is a whole other ballgame…
