The Setup

A Black Cat/Retriever, Fake Dating, Clean Sports Romance (Smash Point Social Club, Book 2)

De: Cynthia Gunderson

Narrado por: Cynthia Gunderson

Talk about mixed doubles...

Justin's ex is on the executive team for the pickleball tournament series he’s hosting.

And she’s bringing her new celebrity boyfriend on the tour.

He needs a doubles partner off the court—stat.

Enter Sam: prickly, private, and the last person you’d expect to agree to fake date anyone.

But she’s got a killer poker face, a solid paddle grip, and zero interest in real romance.

Which makes her the perfect fake girlfriend.

The plan?

Keep it casual. Fake some chemistry. Win the tournament—and the breakup optics.

But between their kitchen banter, flirty foot faults, and steamy “practice drills,” lines are blurring fast.

Now they’re stuck in close quarters on the tournament tour, dinking around with fake feelings that might not be so fake...
