Force at Third

Leland Locke is everything I always knew he would be.

Professional baseball player and F-boy extraordinaire, Locke’s the kind of man that no woman would ever give up a chance to call him theirs, even if for one night.

He’s just that good, and I hate that about him.

On the first day of my sophomore year of high school, I saw her and knew she was it.

That same night, I broke up with my girlfriend, Shelby Shutter, and Gwendolyn York became my girl, and I became her player. We were best friends and each other’s first everything.

She’s the last girl I loved, and I’m still the guy she hates.

Now, she and her partner are on a case involving my neighbor, and I will not stop until I get the answer to the one question I still have: how did we manage to mess up something as good as us?
