She's playing the field. He's playing for keeps . . .

Cameron is a hot NFL prospect, and a total player on and off the field. But his moves don't seem to work on Maddie. While she once crushed on him hard, that has since faded. She's got big plans of her own and they don't include him.

Maddie is finally playing the field until Spring Break turns her plans-and feelings-upside down. It becomes harder when Cameron, who happens to be her WAY overprotective brother's BFF, is always around.

Unable to hide from their feelings, Cameron and Maddie become friends...with benefits and sneak around behind her brother's back. But when their feelings become a little more complicated, they are faced with a decision: one that will change their life playbooks for good . . .

Tropes:
Brother's bestfriend
Spice
Friends to lovers
Reformed playboy
