Katie McIntyre Hits a Home Run - Women's Work, #1

"Sweet,  crazy, and believable!"-Reader KS Sportswriter Katie McIntyre thinks star pitcher Jason Price will be the perfect fling, a one-night stand to help her forget her cheating ex. Their hook-up is supposed to end with breakfast-but the coronavirus has other plans. When Katie unexpectedly becomes her grandmother's full-time caretaker, the disoriented elderly woman believes Jason is Katie's devoted beau.
Desperate, Katie pitches a pretend relationship to the star athlete. Jason knocks the fake-boyfriend ball out of the park.  Before long, the couple's increasingly real alliance is tested by disastrous cooking, adult-themed donuts, and an irascible hairless cat.

With a relationship built on false pretenses, how do Katie and Jason avoid striking out? Previously published as The C Word. The Women's Work Series includes: Katie McIntyre Hits a Home RunJennifer Price Lives a Charmed LifeEmily Holcomb Bakes a New Cake 112922mkm
