Synopsis
Drew Maddox is Major League Baseball's most talked-about player — on the field for his temper, off it for his reputation as Manhattan's most notorious playboy. When a public shouting match with a stranger is misread by the tabloids as the start of a romance, his agent sees a chance to save Drew's career: pose as a couple for the summer. Evie Larsen, freshly out of a seventeen-year relationship, has her own reasons to play along. What starts as a fake arrangement of convenience turns dangerously real as their sparring gives way to a chemistry neither of them can explain away.
