The Setup: A black cat/retriever, fake dating, clean sports romance

Talk about mixed doubles...

Justin's ex is on the executive team for the pickleball tournament series he’s hosting.

And she’s bringing her new celebrity boyfriend on the tour.

He needs a doubles partner off the court—stat.

Enter Sam: prickly, private, and the last person you’d expect to agree to fake date anyone.

But she’s got a killer poker face, a solid paddle grip, and zero interest in real romance.
