SLIDING HOME
She’s been secretly in love with her best friend for seven years. Now she just proposed they fake date for the cameras.
Maren Finley is a PR director who fixes other people’s scandals. When her best friend’s viral video threatens his $72 million contract, she does what she does best — she builds a plan. Fake date for the cameras. Shift the narrative. Save his career. Go back to being friends.
Except Maren has been in love with Cole Donovan for seven years. And every staged hand-hold, every camera-ready kiss, every family dinner as his “girlfriend” is destroying every defense she’s ever built. Because nothing about touching him feels remotely fake.
Cole’s been hiding something too. He’s loved her since a rainy night in April three years ago when they almost kissed. He’s watched her date other men. Built his baseball career around the one constant in his life — her. And now they’re pretending to be something they’ve both wanted to be real for years.
The media thinks they’re Boston’s perfect couple. His teammates knew it was always real. His mom is planning their wedding. And somewhere between press conferences and walk-off home runs, the performance and the truth are becoming impossible to separate.
Seven years of secret love. One fake relationship. And the terrifying possibility that admitting the truth could cost them the one person neither of them can live without.
Fake dating. Friends-to-lovers. Sports romance. Mutual pining. He fell first, she fell harder. Steamy fade-to-black heat level.
The kind of book where you’re screaming “JUST TELL EACH OTHER” from the very first chapter.
