It was just a game… until the rules changed.

Photographer Maggie Redford is happy to watch life from the stands. She's already met and lost the love of her life and would rather spend her time snapping shots of Chicago's MLB team. But Maggie's thrown a curveball when the team signs Tommy Mikals, a tattooed hotshot whose talent for making plays is matched by a playboy reputation.

Tommy knows he's on the brink of losing his baseball career for good and that the Cougars are his last shot at redemption. Vowing to give up his party-boy ways, he can't afford any distractions – including one gorgeous team photographer.

When a wild team outing leads to a compromising photo of Maggie and Tommy going viral, suddenly they've become the hottest new celebrity couple. With his reputation and her job on the line, they have no choice but to go along with PR's plan of faking a romance to the world.

But as their pretend relationship plays out in the spotlight, real feelings come into play. Maggie's already loved and lost; Tommy's never learned to commit: can they even make it past first base?

One thing that Nolan Hill needed to learn about me though: I could be just as stubborn as he was when it came to my job.

Everyone knows Nolan Hill as the legendary quarterback of the Chicago Bobcats　two-time Super Bowl champ and heartthrob to countless fans. But to Lottie Thompson, hes just the stubborn pain in the ass who refuses her physio treatment. Shes worked hard to command respect in a male-dominated industry, and shes not about to let a 6ft, too-handsome-for-his-own-good football player run all over her.

But when Nolans injury threatens his Super Bowl dreams, he and Lottie strike a deal: hell follow her rehab plan in exchange for helping her tick off her bucket list. As Nolans performance on the field soars, Lottie finds their partnership off the field heating up too. Somewhere between sweaty morning runs and late-night strategy sessions, their rivalry has turned into the kind of truce that involves lingering touches and stolen kisses.

Now Lottie isnt one to back down from a challenge, but can this grumpy quarterback finally break through her defences?
