Moon Shot

Meredith has spent years avoiding Rowan, but he's hard to miss as the Portland Evergreens' all-star first baseman, the city's favorite baseball player, and the most frustratingly charming man she's ever met.

When favors for a mutual friend bring them closer, rumors swirl about Rowan and Meredith that they can't shake. At the same time, Meredith is desperate to save the nonprofit she has devoted her career to, while Rowan is searching for ways to repair his public image.

The Evergreens' annual Portland Sweetest Day Contest could be the perfect solution, and Rowan has just the plan.

If Rowan and Meredith can convince everyone they're the perfect couple, Meredith can win a donation that would save her nonprofit, and Rowan's reputation could be better than ever. All they have to do is pretend.

But somewhere between kisses on the baseball field, public appearances, and stolen moments together, what began as a fake plan becomes something they never saw coming. Pretending becomes a little too real.

With the contest deadline closing in, Rowan and Meredith need to decide whether to keep pretending. . . or take the biggest chance of all and swing for the moon.
