Strike Two (A Steamy Little Romance‪)‬

The last time Izzy Huntington saw Ty Cross, he was coughing in the dust churned up by the bus she rode out of town. Fifteen hard years later, Izzy is a struggling lawyer and single mother. Suckered into attending a bachelor auction, she ends up bidding on the man who broke her heart all those years ago. Ty, a retired baseball player, is all too pleased to get reacquainted. But Ty already has two strikes against him: Izzy has given up on dating charming, handsome men; and she’s smart enough to know that with Ty around, her good sense is about to fly out the window.

Ty Cross enjoys a good challenge. What’s more, he’s always had a soft spot for the one girl who recognized the potential hidden beneath his cocky veneer. Years ago he treated Izzy’s heart with teenage disregard. When he encounters the smart, sexy woman again, he has a chance to make amends—if she’ll let him. However, it's hard to show her that he's reformed when part of him desperately wants to get her naked. Can he rekindle their relationship before his unruly body forces a third strike?
