Catching Ava

It starts with a blind date…

A blind date with a sexy major league baseball player seems harmless enough. Except Ava Phillips falls hard for Xavier Monreal and then can’t get him to move off first base.


He is not boyfriend material…

Xavier has some family issues that need resolving before he’s boyfriend material for anyone. He also has a stubborn streak that keeps Ava at arm’s length.


Their passion won’t be enough if they both dig their heels in.

Time and again their agendas clash. Ava has personal goals that keep her from spending much time with Xavier. Meanwhile, Xavier needs to get his head out of his ass if he wants to earn her respect. Major league baseball is a demanding sport not conducive to long-term relationships. Only the strongest can survive.
