You Broke Me First

For journalist Ava Whitfield, landing an exclusive with tennis' most infamous bad boy, Marcus Taylor, is a career boost she can't refuse--and the perfect distraction from her recent breakup. Her assignment? Find out why the world-class star is such a world-class grouch.

But when a viral photo sparks rumors they're dating, both stand to benefit from the lie: Marcus gets a PR glow-up, and Ava gets to make her ex feel a teeny bit jealous. Win-win...in theory. As the line between truth and fiction blurs, Marcus lets Ava see the man behind the headlines--funny, driven, and disarmingly kind.

The more she gets to know him, the harder it is to keep her professional distance. Amid the champagne and bright lights of Wimbledon, Ava must decide: is a relationship worth the leap? Or will tennis always come first for Marcus?

Can she lower her guard, or will falling for him leave her heart in pieces all over again?
