Cross The Line

In **Cross the Line** by **Lauren Jackson**, a fake-dating college football romance crackles with sharp banter, high stakes and just the right hit of suspense. Set in Australia, it’s the kind of new adult romance that pulls you in fast and keeps you turning pages.

Nora Robertson has built her life around staying unnoticed—especially since she’s secretly the anonymous author behind the country’s most talked-about romance series. When her family won’t stop interrogating her love life, she needs a convincing plus-one for a wedding, and quickly. Enter Zayden Stark: her best friend’s brother, a charming troublemaker with a scholarship on the line and zero time for distractions.

Their deal is simple: tutoring in exchange for playing boyfriend. But forced proximity, late-night study sessions and simmering chemistry start to feel a little too real—especially when old history resurfaces and a stalker threatens to expose everything.

Perfect for readers who love **fake dating**, **best friend’s brother**, and **spicy sports romance** with dual POV. Don’t miss your chance to get swept up in it.
