When a fiery night between two strangers turns out to be with your bitter rival, what's a girl (and guy) to do? Avery and Reid have been trading barbs on social media for years as social media managers for rival NFL teams, but when they discover each other's true identity after a steamy encounter, they decide to keep things casual—complete with a friendly wager for the season. What starts as pure heat and sarcasm quickly becomes something neither of them expected: actual feelings that threaten to blur the lines between their online personas and their real lives. With constant banter masking deeper connection, they'll have to figure out if the chemistry that's absolutely undeniable in private can actually survive in the real world.
