Baseball star Will Vandergriff knows any number of women who would
happily pretend to be his girlfriend. In a last-ditch effort to restore
his good standing with his team's higher-ups, he enlists the help of his
neurotic, goody-goody neighbor. Schoolteacher Olivia Pratt might be a
bit quirky and a bit of a loner, but she's a lot more inviting than she
knows. Will hopes that bringing her to his next game might revamp his
reckless reputation and help get his career back on track. The only
problem? The plan works a little too well. Not only do the higher-ups
love Olivia, but Will plays his best game yet. Suddenly his losing
streak is a thing of the past, and Olivia is his new good-luck charm.
Will feels anything but lucky.
After years of keeping the world at bay, Olivia Pratt is pulling off the
ultimate performance--not only reluctantly posing as Will's girlfriend
but also insisting that she's oblivious to his major-league appeal. But
she can only lie to herself for so long. Being by Will's side feels
good. Really good. Maybe it's finally time to make a pitch for
everything she really wants--and to find out just how exhilarating love
can be.
