When Kennedy wakes up in a Vegas hotel room with a wedding ring on her finger and zero memory of the ceremony, her perfectly planned final season with the Chicago Warriors is suddenly on very shaky ground—especially since the groom is Isaiah Rhodes, the team's charming shortstop who's been flirting with her for years. To protect her hard-won reputation and land her dream job with another team, they agree to a one-season marriage that's purely for show, a game Kennedy is determined to keep strictly professional. But Isaiah has other plans, and as they navigate fake couple dinners, locker room gossip, and the increasingly difficult task of keeping their hands to themselves, Kennedy discovers that the impulsive, persistent man she's been avoiding might actually be exactly what she never knew she needed. A delightfully fun sports romance about second chances, unexpected feelings, and how sometimes the best plot twists happen when you stop following the script.
