Friend Zone Strikeout: A Fake Dating Single Dad Baseball Romance (Off Base)

She refuses to be a rebound. So he agrees to be friends.
But fake-dating her? That’s where he loses control.

Nate was left at the altar.
Nora’s boyfriend ran off with the bride.

They find each other in the aftermath…
but Nora refuses to be a rebound.

So she sets one rule: friends only.

Too bad an island trip, fake dating, and one very persistent single dad start blurring every line she thought she could hold.

Because Nate doesn’t just text her with morning check-ins...
He shows up when it matters most.

And the way he looks at her?
It’s anything but friendly.
