Welcome to one of all time favorite football romances! Alex, aka Xander or Xavier, is a football player who has harbored feelings for his agent's ex-wife, Harper, since their first encounter. Despite his efforts to keep his distance, Alex's resolve is tested when he learns of Harper's impending divorce at a fundraiser. When he sees a teammate getting too close to Harper at a party, Alex intervenes, resulting in a heated altercation. To avoid legal consequences and repercussions from the team management, Harper agrees to pretend to be Alex's girlfriend, believing that the public will be more sympathetic to the encounter if they believed his motivation was defending his partner. Fiction and reality become increasingly blurred as the fake romance goes on, and the chemistry between Alex and Harper intensifies. Alex is determined to win Harper's heart, but her ex-husband sets up obstacles that threaten their budding relationship. With its dual points of view, Pick Six delivers with just the right amount of angst and drama mixed with steam and romance.
