Fake dating a baseball star sounded like a good idea, but the real world is never that simple.
Remi Keane has been called many things—bar stool philosopher, wounded poet, expert at keeping people at arm's length. He knows survival, and he's spent years building himself up out of nothing. He isn't looking for love. He isn't looking for anything. But that was before Amir walked into his bar.
Still navigating his recent divorce, his career, and being a single father, Amir Darya doesn't have time for complicated. A one-night stand quickly spirals out of control when he's outed by the press. His carefully managed image goes out the window, and his life becomes a fight to stay ahead of the next story. With the fans eating up every single article, managing the fallout might be the best he can hope for.
What starts as a fake relationship for the cameras turns into something neither of them has the language for. Remi's past doesn't stay buried for long, and when old wounds resurface in very public ways, the fragile thing they've built is put to the test.
When the world outside threatens to take it all apart, Remi has to ask himself the hardest question he's ever faced—not whether Amir is worth the risk, but whether he is.
