Publisher Description
She’d be the perfect catch if he could take his eye off the ball.
Emmy Kasper knows exactly how lucky she is. In a sport with few opportunities for women at the pro level, she’s just landed her dream job as head athletic trainer for the San Francisco Felons baseball team. Screwing up is not an option.
She’s lost in thought as she pedals to the spring training facility, her mind abuzz with excitement as she rounds a corner—and plows head-on into two runners. The end of her career dances before her eyes when she realizes she’s almost run over the star pitcher.
As Tucker Lloyd watches the flustered Emmy escape with his bandana tied around her skinned knee, the view is a pleasant change from worrying about his flagging fastball. At thirty-six, the tail end of his career is glimmering on the horizon. If he can’t pull something extraordinary out of his ball cap, the new crop of rookies could make this season his last.
The last thing either of them needs is a distraction.
The last thing either of them expects is love.
Warning: Contains a down-on-his-luck pitcher, a good-girl athletic therapist, chemistry that’s out of the park and sexy times that’ll make them round all the bases.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this charming contemporary, the first of the Boys of Summer sports-themed series, Dean (Something Secret This Way Comes) tells the tale of athletic trainer Emmy Kasper and major-league pitcher Tucker Lloyd. Emmy has just taken a position as the head athletic trainer for the San Francisco Felons. The daughter of a former major-league star and one of the first women in her field to reach such heights, Emmy's out to prove she doesn't need the family name to succeed. Tucker, who has spent a year off the field enduring surgery and physical therapy, is equally committed to his former glory. Neither one expects to fall in love. This sexy story won't disappoint, and readers will want to follow the other engaging characters for many books to come.
