Un jugador de baloncesto con el ego subido, la mejor amiga de su hermana y una decisión terrible: fingir que son pareja para engañar a la prensa y al mundo. ¿Qué puede salir mal? Llega la segunda parte de Mile High: el romance deportivo que ha enganchado a #Booktok. RYAN Soy el nuevo capitán de los Devils, el equipo de la NBA de Chicago, y lo último que necesitaba este año era que Indy Ivers, la mejor amiga de mi hermana, se mudara a mi apartamento. Es desordenada, histérica y demasiado tentadora. Pero cuando el director del equipo expresa su desaprobación por mi ascenso a capitán, refiriéndose a mí como un lobo solitario sin equilibrio entre la vida laboral y personal, no se me ocurre mejor manera de convencerle de lo contrario que fingir que salgo con mi simpatiquísima compañera de piso. Tener una novia falsa no tenía por qué ser complicado, pero tener a Indy bajo mi techo y en mi cama es complicado, sobre todo cuando quiere también la parte romántica que yo nunca podría darle. INDY Nunca imaginé que viviría con el hermano de mi mejor amiga, la superestrella de la NBA Ryan Shay. ¿Más increíble aún? Me necesita para que actúe como su novia, amantísima y cariñosa, que de repente lo ha convertido en un tipo simpático y accesible. Porque, bueno... no lo es. Es un obseso de su espacio personal y no confía en los demás. Pero nuestro acuerdo no es unilateral. Tengo una boda dentro de poco, a la que asistirán todos mis amigos de la infancia, incluido mi exnovio, y no hay mejor venganza que ir acompañada del héroe de mi ex. Sin embargo, a veces se me hace imposible separar lo real de lo falso. Enamorarme de mi compañero de piso nunca formó parte del trato, sobre todo cuando Ryan no hace más que recordarme que no cree en el amor.
