BLURB:

Delaney Harris is a sharp-talking, type A overachiever who’s never missed a goal she's set for herself. A relationship has just never been one of them.

Her sports gossip podcast is finally taking off, a major studio is interested, and after years of chasing her big break, she's closer than ever. Temporarily moving to tiny Stillwell, Texas, wasn't part of the plan. Neither was becoming fast friends with her twin brother's teammate.

Boone Maddox is Stillwell's favorite hometown success story. Too bad he doesn't feel like one.

He just pitched the Sliders to a championship, but after three seasons stuck in Double-A, the call-up he's been hoping for still hasn't come. An easy, unexpected friendship with his teammate's twin sister is the one bright spot in a game of waiting.

Then one photo of them together hits the internet, and suddenly Delaney's podcast is getting more attention, Boone's name is generating buzz again, and pretending they're together starts looking like a very good idea.

The deal is simple: fake it through the offseason, then go back to being friends once spring training starts. It should be easy, since Boone's version of a perfect date night is a pizza delivery and strong opinions about walk-up songs.

Except convincing an entire town they're falling for each other means actually spending time together. And when a weekend in Dallas leaves them sharing a hotel room with only one bed, pretending starts to feel dangerously close to the real thing.

They've always known where the fake relationship ends. The problem is figuring out what happens to the very real one they've built underneath it.

Fair Game is a small-town baseball romance with fake dating, forced proximity, and a tension-filled slow burn that is worth the wait.
