Single Dad Slugger

Jax Callahan is currently drowning in a flood of bad press. His career is on the line. He's a star slugger who needs to protect his young daughter from the prying cameras. To fix his image, he agrees to a fake relationship with the last person he wants. Sienna Vale is his ex's loyal friend. She's also the sharp journalist who has spent years roasting him in her column.

Sienna needs a career-making story. She doesn't need an arrogant single dad in her life. But when they strike a deal, their public act feels unexpectedly real. Rain taps against the window of the dugout during their quiet moments. Behind closed doors, their biting insults turn into a heavy tension. Every stolen touch threatens to break their own rules.

Jax's daughter starts to think the lie is the truth. The more time Sienna spends with the little girl, the harder it is to keep her distance. Slow dances and late night arguments feel dangerously authentic. The line between their act and their actual needs is vanishing fast. They started with a lie but ended up with something else.

Can they turn this desperate gamble into a real family?
