Travis could only grimace in return as he went to join the men, guilt slithering like a serpent in his belly. Stephen nodded in greeting, a smile breaking across his face. Taking it sure as hell wasn’t going to be easy.Ī moment later, Travis stepped off the new porch, his work boots landing in a mixture of dirt and construction debris. Getting his name to the top of the short list. The catalyst for the change had to be the possibility of a new job. That drive that had been missing was back, breathing oxygen into his body, which had felt flat and sluggish since getting cut from the league. Energy snapped in Travis’s shoulders the way it hadn’t in months.
His baby-brained friend hopped out of the van with a tray of coffees, stopping to talk to Dominic. Baseball was forever.Īt the sound of gravel crunching, Travis turned and looked out the window to find Stephen arriving in his god-awful minivan. Or with the fact that letting his guard down around her gave him the same sense of peace as the ballpark. And it certainly couldn’t have shit to do with wanting to simply be around her. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her.Fake dating Georgie could not have anything to do with getting her sexy curves underneath him again. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. When she proposes a wild scheme-that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job-he agrees. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite? Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!) Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?) Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.) Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?) She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. A brand new romantic comedy from New York Times bestseller Tessa Bailey!
