The Practice Proposal (Unabridged‪)‬

Liza Sutherland isn't looking for love. Not from a charity-auction date she didn't even bid on and especially not with Nationals first baseman Cole Collins, the guy she obsessed over as an awkward teenager. She won't get involved with a notorious player, no matter how attractive Cole is.

Cole Collins is up for contract renegotiation, but after too many late-night parties, he'll need some positive publicity before he can make the roster. His agent Frank pitches Liza as the perfect prop - only Cole didn't account for Liza no longer being just a teenager with a crush. She's gorgeous and smart and he's instantly hooked.

When Frank makes Liza a deal she can't refuse - a bet she will fall in love with Cole or a cool half mil goes to charity - the game is on. But neither bet on the real feelings that surface. Could a fake fling turn into an official forever?
