Perfect Praise

Maren and Locke both exist in the same world of professional golf—he's the number one player in the world, while she just takes his picture.

Never mind that Locke unintentionally leads the press to believe that he and Maren are dating, because when she confronts him, he couldn't care less.

Add in a reality show Maren is unfortunately a part of with her now ex-boyfriend, the number two golfer in the world, and she finds herself propositioning Locke to teach her how to quit caring... about everything.

Of course, Locke would never do something like that out of the goodness of his heart, so he asks for something in return—for her to accompany him to his pro-athlete obligations and not take his picture. One thing they're definitely not doing? Fake dating.

But when their now 'fake friendship' starts to blur the lines, they both find themselves opening up to each other in ways they never would have imagined.
