Romance Contemporary

For journalist Ava Whitfield, landing an exclusive with tennis’ most infamous bad boy, Marcus Taylor, is a career boost she can’t refuse—and the perfect distraction from her recent breakup. Her assignment? Find out why the world-class star is such a world-class grouch.

But when a viral photo sparks rumors they’re dating, both stand to benefit from the lie: Marcus gets a PR glow-up, and Ava gets to make her ex feel a teeny bit jealous. Win-win…in theory.

As the line between truth and fiction blurs, Marcus lets Ava see the man behind the headlines—funny, driven, and disarmingly kind. The more she gets to know him, the harder it is to keep her professional distance.

Amid the champagne and bright lights of Wimbledon, Ava must decide: is a relationship worth the leap? Or will tennis always come first for Marcus? Can she lower her guard, or will falling for him leave her heart in pieces all over again?
