Cheryl Karalis-Walker doesn’t have time to fall in love. After twelve-hour days marketing pineapple-print leggings and caring for her terminally ill mother, all she wants is to get white wine tipsy and flirt with someone else’s dad.
Patrick Normal isn’t a dad. He isn’t close to being someone’s dad. He’s a young, kind-hearted football player with the body of a Greek god and Cheryl’s determined to treat him as a baby brother. After all, boyfriends leave, but friends are forever... Right?
Being Cheryl’s bestie has meant years of pent-up lust and friendzone jokes but Patrick is determined to withstand both if it means staying close to her. He’s losing hope he’ll ever move from ‘best friend’ to ‘love interest’ when a wild party leaves Cheryl naked in his bed. Between his sheets, she confesses she’s scared of ruining their friendship… but she loves it when he takes charge.
So, it’s on. No more games, no more tiptoeing around the tension Cheryl wants him in charge? She’s got it. She’s going to realize the man who’s always been her constant is the one she’s been waiting for her whole life. The two best friends are done f***ing around. It’s time to find out.
Back Into It is a standalone, contemporary romance novel, and book four in the interconnected Playing for Love series.
