But romance? Been there done that burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners whatever their gender are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits—someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom. When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong its an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae—and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse? Danis plan is simple: fake a relationship in public seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is grumpy Zafs secretly a hopeless romantic—and hes determined to corrupt Danis stone-cold realism. Before long hes tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own and the walls around his heart are as thick as his... um thighs. Suddenly the easy lay Dani dreamed of is more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?(less)
