From the author of Mother Pucker, the fan-favorite hockey romcom, comes a swoony and banter-filled new sports romance starring a single dad major league pitcher, a single mom who wants nothing to do with pro athletes, and a second chance neither of them saw coming.
I had a one-night stand with a gorgeous stranger, believing I'd never see him again. Except who did he turn out to be? Troy Winters, starting pitcher for the MLB and the hottest single dad to grace the planet. What's worse, he's now my son's new baseball coach. In my defense, Troy and I had agreed to exchange fake names and occupations that fateful night in a seedy Colorado bar. One perfect night of no strings and a quick escape from my busy single mom life... Right? Fast forward to a re-meet-cute that had me diving under a chair, an injury that sidelined him for a year, and now Troy is coaching my son's team while he recovers. His smoldering, golden-hued gaze makes one thing clear: he's not letting me disappear again. But after a highly publicized divorce from a narcissistic pro-golfer, I'm done with the spotlight and athletes. No matter how cute their rear end looks in a uniform. Yet Troy is relentless. Between his bond with my boy, his tenderness for his daughter, and our scorching chemistry, my walls are crumbling. So I offer a compromise: a friends-with-benefits situation while he recovers. Once he returns to the MLB, we'll go back to being just friends. Simple enough, right? Except, the more time I spend wrapped in his arms, the less simple everything becomes. Now, with the MLB calling him back, I have a choice to make: stick to our deal and protect my heart or risk everything for the spotlight I'd vowed to avoid. Narrated in duet style.
