The thing about perfect lives is that there’s only one way for them to go—downhill.
I learned that after my first love broke my heart and an injury sacked my pro baseball career. Now I’m working a tedious bank job just to pass the time. So imagine my surprise when I find her in my first big meeting.
Barbara Murphy.
The one who got away is as gorgeous as ever, and this time, I’m not letting her go.
But it won’t be easy. Especially when life throws me a wicked curve ball that could destroy everything …

I met the love of my life when I was eighteen. Cal Chase was everything to me.
And I let him go.
What can I say? I was young, stupid, and in pain. I thought I was doing the right thing for both of us.
For the next fifteen years, I did everything I could to forget him. But now he’s back, sexy as ever, asking for a second chance. I know I should stay away.
But I can’t.
All I can do now is hope my heart can withstand the hit when everything inevitably falls apart again.
He can bring the heat, but she’s a curveball he never saw coming…
Hannah
My plan is sound: Fix the major league ballplayer’s PR crisis, ignore the annoying crush I have on the cocky jerk. I’ve had a front-row seat for how he conducts his personal life for years, and I want nothing to do with it—no matter how hot he is, or how weak he makes my knees. But my sound plan crumbles as I spend time with him and discover that maybe—just maybe—Jack Reagan’s more than a waste of handsome.
Jack
Baseball is my life. I don’t have time for unnecessary drama. So when my ex-girlfriend publishes a tell-all book, I know I need Hannah Adams. She’s worked PR magic for my team in the past, and I need all the help I can get to repair my reputation. Once the job’s done, all I’ll be left to figure out is…when did Hannah turn into a sexy-as-hell woman who makes me want things—forever kind of things—I never wanted from any other woman?
It’s the bottom of the ninth. Will Hannah and Jack go deep, or strike out for good?
She thinks she knows this player…
Why does my promotion depend on Dan McMullen, of all people? I’ve been working my butt off for years and now all I have to do is get the star center fielder game ready and it’s mine. Yes, our relationship happened ten years ago, but I’ll never forget how he broke my heart. He was my first love after all. But I’m older now, wiser. I won’t let anything stand in the way of earning that promotion. Not even a sexy player who thinks we’re going to kiss and make up.
.…but he’s full of surprises.
Back in college, I loved two things…Sabrina Kelly and baseball. Baseball worked out great. Sabrina, not so much. I know I broke her heart, but I’m not that guy anymore. My busted knee may keep me off the field this season, but it’s also given me the chance to get her back into my life. She’s a damn good physical therapist and if anyone can get me on my feet, it’s her. And while she’s here, I just have to convince her to give me another chance.
