Sophia Wallace is convinced her life is over when her high school cuts the journalism program. Without the elective, she loses her chance to intern with the biggest newspaper company in the county, and why? All because the baseball team needs more funding.
To make matters worse, her boyfriend publicly dumps her at a party, which is mortifying. But the icing on the cake is when the captain of the baseball team and the most popular guy at Bayview High, Walsh Hunter, decides to be chivalrous. He jumps in, throws his arm around Sophia, and declares his undying love for her. In front of everyone.
Suddenly, Sophia is thrown into a world of fake relationships and undercover journalism, and she realizes sheโs way, way out of her league.
Good thing sheโs got the team captain to teach her how to play.
But faced with choosing between saving her journalism class or her newfound feelings for Walsh, will she strike out or hit a home run?

His gaze never left mine. โBaseball cleat. Fourth grade. One of my teammates threw it at me.โ
โSome little league kid threw their shoe at you? Why?โ
โI told him that he couldnโt bat very well.โ Walsh shrugged. โHe couldnโt take the truth.โ
I snorted. โYou were that kid? The dream crusher?โ
โWell, someone had to be.โ His small smile was unapologetic. โAsk me who the kid was.โ
I looked at him for a moment before tipping my head. โNo way. Scott?โ
โWho else would be that aggressive as a fourth-grader?โ
Dina pulled at my arm as I laughed, shaking my head at the thought of miniature Scott throwing a shoe at small Walsh. I stepped out from the tangle of leashes at our feet, glancing down. โOh, your poor rich-boy shoes.โ
โWhat?โ Walsh looked at his feet. โOh.โ
Brown smeared the side of his expensive-looking shoe, probably coating along the bottom. โWith dogs around, you should probably watch where youโre walking.โ
Walsh let go of my hand to switch the leash and proceeded to try and smear the offensive substance onto the grass. โNow you tell me.โ
โShould we clean the poop off your shoe together? Is that romantic?โ
His response was dry. โHa-ha.โ
โWhat? Shouldnโt we get a photo and caption it, โThis mightโve been an accident, but falling in love wasnโtโ?โ
โWatch it, or Iโll wipe it on your ankle.โ
I jerked back just in case he tried it, nearly tripping over Dinaโs wealth of leash.
