#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back with an all-new marriage of
convenience friends-to-lovers sports romance about a baseball catcher and the burlesque club
owner he can’t get out of his head. Madden Donahue the newest catcher for the Yankees has
been in love with Eve Mitchell since high school but for some mysterious reason the burlesque
club owner always turns him down. That never stopped him from being her self-appointed
protector. Case in point now that Eve’s sister has left Eve with her two children indefinitely
Madden steps in with a proposition—marry him for the much needed health benefits. Eve has
secretly harbored feelings for Madden all along but there’s one problem—her best friend Skylar
called dibs on him when they were fourteen. Eve has always put their friendship above all else
and she’s not willing to risk losing Skylar over a man. Raised by the local strip club owner
Eve is woefully short on friends and treasures the ones she has. But with Skylar happily paired
off Eve finds herself accepting Madden’s proposal—on the condition that their marriage remains
strictly private. She’s not about to let her unique profession and maligned reputation destroy
Madden’s shiny new career. Madden won’t let Eve get away that easily though. What starts as a
marriage of convenience soon ignites into something much hotter and now it’s up to Madden to
convince Eve that their connection is far more than a business arrangement. As the passion
builds can their fake marriage become the real deal?
