The Square Up (Play Hard, Love Hard Series)

A fake fiancé. A basketball star. A game neither of them planned to play—falling in love.

I’m Kade Nash, pro basketball player and headline magnet. I show up, play hard, and leave even harder. My life is simple—until my agent storms into my penthouse with mascara tears streaking down her cheeks.

I’ve never seen Harper fall apart.
She’s fierce. Ruthless. Untouchable.
The woman who destroys bad contracts and men.

Her boyfriend dumped her—right before the family reunion where she’s always teased for showing up alone. Before I can stop myself, I blurt out the stupidest, boldest thing I’ve ever said: “I’ll be your date. Hell… I’ll be your fiancé.”

Now we’re pretending to be madly in love—except the pretending part gets a lot harder every time she looks at me. Harper is smart, sexy, impossible, and the one woman I’d do anything to protect.

This was supposed to be fake.
No feelings.
No future.

But the closer we get, the more I know one thing for sure: I’m done playing games that don’t end with her.

A steamy basketball romance with fake-fiancé heat, addictive banter, and a hero who risks everything for the woman he was never supposed to love.
