Swing and a Kiss

About this book

Cassidy Calloway never expected to go viral for grieving, but in the face of loss, little makes sense, especially when faced with a hit-it-out-of-the-park, over-the-fence, World Series kind of love. This tropetastic fake dating sports romance is perfect for fans of Alicia Thompson and Tessa Bailey. When her boyfriend dumps her at her father's funeral, Cassidy Calloway does what she does best--turns her heartbreak into content. To honor her baseball-loving father--and if she's being honest, to piss off her ex--she launches a season-long social media experiment to attend nine games with nine dates in honor of her father's favorite player, number nine, Nate O'Brien. The Gila Monsters' star pitcher is on the verge of his biggest season yet, and he's not about to let some influencer-turned-ballpark-spectacle throw him off his game. But when the team starts losing and fans start blaming Cassidy, Nate has bigger problems than his ERA--because the front office wants them to fix the narrative by pretending to date. With his career on the line and her reputation at stake, Cassidy and Nate must turn their luck around. But the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to pretend they aren't falling for each other. And that's the problem with fake dating. At some point, it starts to feel real.
