Perfect for readers of Joanna Blake and Sawyer Bennett, hailed as âcharming, sexy, and smartâ by Lauren Layne, the Bad Boys of Baseball series from award-winning author Katie Rose heats up as a homegrown baseball star returns to snag the one that got away.
Â
When veteran catcher Connor Jackson gets traded to the New Jersey Sonics, he welcomes the opportunity to possibly cap his career with a World Series ring in his home state. But thereâs another reason Connor is glad things have come full circle. In pursuit of hardball glory, he left behind his college sweetheart, the one girl he could never forget. Seeing her again stirs up long-lost desires . . . and this time, heâs determined not to strike out.
Â
A divorced mother of four, Tracy Coleman no longer aspires to gossip-mag glamâbut sheâll make an exception for a date with Connor. Their chemistry is hotter than ever, and being alone with him is more seductive than she anticipated. Who could blame her for leaving out a little detail like the kids? Now all she has to do is come clean and convince the man of her dreams that theyâConnor, Tracy, and her childrenâhave a future together.
