Cassidy Calloway never expected to go viral for grieving, but in the face of loss, little makes sense, especially when faced with a hit-it-out-of-the-park, over-the-fence, World Series kind of love. This tropetastic fake dating sports romance is perfect for fans of Alicia Thompson and Tessa Bailey.
Intrigued? Read on to discover the synopsis and an excerpt from Swing and a Kiss by Jaqueline Snowe, which is out now!
But first, here’s a introduction from the author:
“Swing and a Kiss is a love letter to baseball. I’ve always found baseball as the most romantic sport–I mean, there are 162 games a season, and each game is a commitment. I wanted to explore the love of the sport as a superfan, getting into the acronyms and data and the things most people don’t see. To me, writing about athletes is my favorite because your true character is who you are when you lose, not when you win, and being able to write Nate from that perspective was so fun.”
Synopsis
When her boyfriend dumps her at her father’s funeral, Cassidy Calloway does what she does best—turns her heartbreak into content. To honor her baseball-loving father—and if she’s being honest, to piss off her ex—she launches a season-long social media experiment to attend nine games with nine dates in honor of her father’s favorite player, number nine, Nate O’Brien.
The Gila Monsters’ star pitcher is on the verge of his biggest season yet, and he’s not about to let some influencer-turned-ballpark-spectacle throw him off his game. But when the team starts losing and fans start blaming Cassidy, Nate has bigger problems than his ERA—because the front office wants them to fix the narrative by pretending to date.
With his career on the line and her reputation at stake, Cassidy and Nate must turn their luck around. But the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to pretend they aren’t falling for each other.
And that’s the problem with fake dating. At some point, it starts to feel real.
