Danika Brown knows what she wants- professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance?

When big, brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it's an obvious sign- PhD student Dani and former rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together.

Turns out his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse? Dani's plan is simple- fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes.
