The Catching Kind by Bria Quinlan
Hailey Tate thought she was worth more than a straight flush.
Apparently not.
When camera-shy author Hailey Tate’s agent loses a bet and brokers a deal, it leaves Hailey in the last place she wants to be: backed into the corner of Publicity and Paparazzi. Now, thanks to her girl-next-door image and role as pretend girlfriend to a womanizing shortstop, she's getting the attention she always managed to avoid.
Connor Ryan is not only America’s Sexiest Athlete, he’s also the current Bad Boy of Baseball. But when he goes a base too far, management wants to bench him…permanently. One thing he never counted on? Falling for his sweet, fake girlfriend. He’s the guy who can catch anything and now she’s next on his list.

It’s hate at first sight when YA author Hailey Tate is blackmailed
into be Baseball’s Bad Boy, Connor Ryan’s fake girlfriend to clean up
his image and maybe get her some of that famous exposure:
He glanced at me, his eyes narrowing, before he dropped his feet to the floor and shot out of his seat.
“No. No way.” He pointed at me as if no one knew who he was talking about. “You said she was a stunner.”
“I said she was cute.” This from the over-suited man seated next to him. He glanced at me and then frowned at Catherine. “You said she was cute.”
“She cleans up well.”
Thanks for the support, Catherine.
“She’s not my type,” Connor stated as if I weren’t right there.
Not that it wasn’t true. His type was high-profile, famous women. Models, reality stars, actresses, news anchors, senators’ daughters…basically, anyone seven-to-twelve times more famous than me.
“That’s the entire point.” The man in the very expensive suit, who I could only assume was Dex, crossed his arms, looking at his client in a way I hoped Catherine didn’t typically look at me.
“I don’t care if that’s the point.” Connor Ryan raked a gaze over me in disgust. “I won’t be seen with someone who doesn’t even know how to blow-dry her own hair.”
Everyone’s gazes drifted up toward my hair and I knew—I knew—I was entering nightmare land. I was wrong. This was worse than a Paige & Prejudice review. This was a general assault on my person and I didn’t even know why.

Worth the Fall
Kasey Lane is having a bad week.
Understatement.
Her idea of success never involved losing her job, man, and apartment in 24-hours. Now, with nowhere to go and no way to pay for it anyway, Kasey decides it’s time for a fresh start, which means a new apartment, a new career, and…no men.
But as a magnet for ridiculousness and absurd brushes with the law, her start goes from fresh to stale in record time. It doesn’t help that Mr. Wrong keeps showing up during her adventures gone awry and taking over. Now, as Kasey plans her way to independence she has to decide if the only path to success is going it alone...or if maybe a partner in crime can make the journey sweeter.
