This is book 3 in the series of Darenation but it easily stands alone. It features a few fun tropes like a marriage of convenience, fling with a celebrity and a sisters bestfriend romance.
Jaxon is a baseball player with a very bad reputation. His team is getting fed up with his antics and so they suggest he settle down. Macy is best friends with Jaxon's sister and she is also taking care of her half sister who is 15 years old. The mom is back in her life and is trying to get custody.
When Macy and Jaxon have a one night fling and then they are caught by the press, they come with a plan to get married to benefit both of them.
This was a light and hot read and I enjoyed it. Its not my favorite in the series but it was very enjoyable. I think one reason I did not love with was that I felt for most of the book that Macy was trying to keep a mom and daughter apart. The mom was not that awful until close to the end so I didnt feel the author explained why she was so against the mom spending time with her daughter.
