Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back with an all-new enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating sports romance about a playboy hockey rookie and the disciplined softball pitcher completely immune to his charms.
Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is living the dream. He's made it to the NHL, his best friend/teammate and fellow "orgasm donor" is his roomie-and the women of Boston love them both. Life is sweet. That is, until he meets Skylar Paige, division 1 softball pitcher, girl least likely to take anyone's bull...and the one member of the opposite sex immune to his charms. Robbie might be dazzled by the badass pitcher, but Skylar pegs him as a filthy player and wants nothing to do with him.
When he discovers she's carrying a serious torch for her brother's best friend, Robbie knows he should just go back to clubbing and whipped cream bikini parties, but he can't seem to leave Skylar to flounder on her romantic quest to land another man. Nor can he miss out on the opportunity to spend time with her and hopefully redeem himself. Before Robbie knows it, he's agreed to be Skylar's fake boyfriend/love coach at an upcoming family wilderness competition where her crush will be in attendance. What could go wrong?
Through a series of contests that require them to trust each other, Robbie and Skylar grow closer and closer until their fake relationship starts to feel like the realest thing they've ever known and the sizzling lessons in sensuality burn out of control.
But it's all just pretend...right?

Reviews / Votes
"Tessa Bailey is the undisputed queen of sexy romcoms, and never ever disappoints!"- Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Tessa Bailey is in a league of her own. She has mastered the perfect balance of heart, hilarity, and of course, heat. Elijah and Addison are such a special duo--built on snark, sweetness, and a genuine friendship. Beat for beat, Getaway Girl, is pure romance perfection." - Lyla Sage, New York Times Bestselling Author of Lost and Lassoed
"Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she's also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there's a lot to be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such a scenario without veering into corny territory." - Entertainment Weekly
"Tessa Bailey is the queen of rom-coms. Long may she reign!" - Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute
"Nothing makes my heart catch fire like a Tessa Bailey book. She is all things magic and dirty talk." - Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception
"Bestseller Bailey hits a hole-in-one with this charming golf-themed rom-com...Wells and Josephine are characters readers will embrace, especially fans of the grumpy/sunshine trope. This one's a keeper." - Publishers Weekly on Fangirl Down
