SYNOPSIS:
What’s better than a revenge date?
A revenge husband.
Pro quarterback Ryan Ralston has always known two things.
First, he’s desperately in love with his best friend Emme Ahlborg.
Second–and most importantly–he still has no idea how to tell her.
The marriage pact they made in their senior yearbook was the closest he ever came.
Years passed and Emme forgot about their promise.
Ryan never did, especially not on his thirtieth birthday.
Emme can’t catch a break. Always unlucky in love, her cheating ex is a groomsman in her best friend’s wedding—and there’s no way she’s showing up alone.
Ryan offers her the one thing better than a wedding date: a revenge husband. And he’s not just any fake husband but the NFL’s brightest star…and in need of serious reputation rehab.
Playing the part of the happy couple comes easy and soon enough, the lines between real and fake blur. They disappear altogether when there’s just one bed.
All Ryan has to do is save Emme from her ex, find her step-sister an internship, and get his wife to fall in love with him—or fumble the one thing he’s ever wanted:
her heart.

REVIEW:
In a Rush by Kate Canterbary is a scorching, heart-melting sports romance that delivers all the feels! This best-friends-to-lovers, fake-marriage story between Ryan, the swoon-worthy NFL quarterback who’s secretly loved his best friend for years, and Emme, the fiercely independent teacher with serious trust issues. Their chemistry is off-the-charts electric, crackling with every lingering touch and loaded with the kind of witty, razor-sharp banter that only years of friendship can forge.
Canterbary masterfully builds the tension, turning their fake marriage into a deliciously slow-burn journey of vulnerability and passion. As Ryan and Emme navigate the blurred lines between friendship and love, every stolen moment and heated glance feels achingly real. The emotional depth of their struggles—Ryan’s unspoken devotion, Emme’s fear of getting hurt—adds layers of intensity to their steamy, soul-baring connection.
With her signature blend of humor, heat, and heartfelt storytelling, Canterbary crafted a romance that was as tender as it is explosive. In a Rush by Kate Canterbary gets 5 smooches from me!
