When a proposal meant for her best friend accidentally lands in the hands of his cocky, infuriatingly charming older brother—the same guy she's secretly crushed on forever—she gets way more than she bargained for. Lane Collins, the university's golden boy pitcher, is everything she shouldn't want: a confident player both on and off the field who treats this arrangement like just another game to win. But as he sets out to teach her everything she asked for, the chemistry between them becomes dangerously real, and suddenly their no-strings agreement feels impossible to keep. This is the kind of second-chance, slow-burn romance where the heart always wins, even when the rules say it shouldn't.
