Scoring Position - Ellie May

Perfect for fans of Off Campus, this charming college romance combines fake dating, baseball, and irresistible chemistry as two students discover that their carefully crafted arrangement may be the most real thing in their lives.

Fake dating, high stakes, and chemistry you can’t bench.

Maggie Parker’s time is running out. When the clock strikes summer, she’ll be forced into her cubicle-gray future under the watchful eye and financial thumb of her father. Maggie is desperate to squeeze the technicolor life out of her remaining college experience. Yet every time she tries, something goes heinously wrong. The only person to blame is… her. 

Enter Elliot Vance.

A starter on the college baseball team, Elliot is facing a mountain of debt with little chance of a pro ball career. Landing a coveted internship at Parker & Klein would change everything—and Maggie Parker is willing to help him. 

The two strike a deal: a taste of a normal college life by fake dating in exchange for internship insight. But as they conquer fears and baseball superstitions together, things become more real than anticipated. When their deal expires, will they stick to the plan or rewrite the rules of the game?

A sharp, funny, and tender college romance about ambition, expectations, and the thrill of choosing yourself—perfect for readers who love brainy banter, emotional growth, and unexpected love.
