Ziggy: I'm the youngest player on the National Soccer team, the baby of my family, and sick of being underestimated, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands. Which is where my brother's best friend and teammate, Sebastian, comes in.
Seb needs to rehab his reputation. I want to give mine an edge. So I propose a fake friendship with real benefits: spending time in the public eye, my good-girl image and his bad-boy notoriety rubbing off on each other. He's my devious, dark-haired fantasy come to life, but his destructive ways make it easy to keep him in the (fake) friend zone. Or so I thought.
Sebastian: I've been spiraling downward, and finally I've hit rock bottom. My hockey career and sponsorships are in jeopardy, and while I'm not ready to reform my ways, I'm happy to pretend that I have, to secure the life I'm on the brink of losing.
So when Ziggy proposes a public "friendship" to revamp our reputations, it's an offer I can't refuse. Up till now, I've stayed away from Ren's little sister to avoid any risk of ruining my one good friendship. But I reassure myself there's no risk in our scheme. I'll fake a friendship with Ziggy, fix my reputation, and get back to hockey.

      Liese’s standalone sixth Bergman Brothers contemporary (following Everything for You) offers bighearted wish fulfillment. Ziggy Bergman loves her overly protective family as much as they love her, but at 22, spending family dinners at the kids’ table is getting old. She’s wants to prove that she’s more than just the baby sister whose autism and shyness are liabilities in her pro soccer career. She’s a grown woman and she wants to be treated like one. Enter Sebastian “Seb” Gauthier, notorious bad-boy hockey player, handsome heartbreaker, and her brother Ren’s best friend. Seb, who has celiac disease, is not interested in playing nice for the public—until one too many PR disasters puts his career at risk. Ziggy thinks she has the answer: they’ll fake a friendship for the press, thereby improving Seb’s image and giving Ziggy some much needed edge. They enter into the arrangement believing themselves to be polar opposites, but there’s more to both of them than either expected and fake friendship (with benefits) could well turn into real love. Liese ably balances sincerity, humor, and heat, and her sensitive focus on neurodivergent and chronically ill characters only adds to the story’s heart. Longtime fans and new readers alike will feel welcomed to the family.
