Coach gave me one last chance to prove myself, so I begged my agent, Nadia, to help me out. Nadia When I suggested Flynn find a woman to "fake date" as a solution to his image problem, I never imagined he'd want me to fill that position. As his agent, I already had my hands full trying to keep him in line. But when he made an offer too good to refuse, I found myself accepting. Now I'm committed to spending two months in the bad boy of football's company. His very attentive company. He smells like sin and looks like every woman's fantasy come to life.
