Approach Shot (City Hearts #2)

The last thing Allen Cabrera needs is another rich kid on his public courts — especially the billionaire’s son who won’t stop showing up, won’t stop bleeding for it, and won’t stop looking at him like that.

Allen coaches community kids on cracked Miami clay and dreams of an academy he’s clawing out of the ground one grant at a time. He learned young what rich families do with the help: take what’s useful, forget your name at the Christmas party. So he keeps his distance. From all of them.

Chris Salazar has been the family disappointment on purpose since he quit tennis at seventeen — because being the letdown is safer than trying at something real and failing.

Now he wants one thing that’s actually his: to earn a spot in his father’s charity tournament on his own two feet, with no name and no check doing the work.

Allen is the only coach who’ll make him bleed for it — and the first person who’s ever wanted Chris, not what Chris can give.

But a coach and a billionaire’s son is a headline waiting to happen — one that erases the match Chris is trying to earn clean and torches the reputation Allen’s whole future is built on.

And Chris’s father doesn’t lose. He owns.

When Emilio Salazar puts the one thing Allen has always wanted on the table, the price is the one thing he’s finally let himself want.

Six a.m. on an empty clay court, it’s very hard to remember all the reasons this is a bad idea.

You can’t fake a third set. Turns out you can’t fake this either.

A steamy, opposites-attract MM romcom

with a grumpy coach, a sunshine heir who won’t quit, a reverse-billionaire desperate to be wanted for himself, a guaranteed happy ending, and zero cheating or cliffhangers.

Book 2 of City Hearts — standalone romantic comedies, one city and one impossible pairing at a time. Each book stands completely alone.
