Jennifer Bernard, the USA Today bestselling author of the Bachelor Firemen series, scores another homerun with a brand-new series about sexy, single baseball players.
Playing for the Kilby Catfish is hotshot pitcher Caleb Hart’s last chance to salvage his career after a major league meltdown. But the day of his opener with the minor league team, Caleb strikes out with the gorgeous woman who is delivering a petition to run the unruly Catfish out of town. Now to stay in the lineup, Caleb will need to score big with the feisty brunette he can’t keep out of his thoughts.
After the nasty lies Sadie Merritt’s rich ex-boyfriend spread about her all over town, she’s lucky to have a job at all. She can’t afford to screw it up by falling for the player who is supposed to be helping her change the image of the fun-loving Catfish. But that’s easier said than done when Caleb’s voice alone is enough to make her pulse race. And when he surprises her with a mind-blowing kiss, she knows there’s no turning back.
When Sadie glanced back over her
shoulder, Caleb was chatting with two guys who must be fans, the way they were
staring up at him in awe. She let out a long breath, grateful that she still
had the ability to inhale and exhale. Caleb Hart was completely outside her
experience. She’d known plenty of guys, of course. Boys at high school, boys at
Kilby Community College. And the boy who’d ruined her life, Hamilton Wade.
But not even Hamilton had caused her
heart to do this crazy cartwheeling Caleb inspired. She’d been swept off her
feet by Ham, but in an awestruck, what-does-he-see-in-me way. He hadn’t made
her hands damp and her thoughts scurry every which way like an anthill someone
had stepped on.
Caleb had caught her at a vulnerable
time in her life, that was all. There was a rational explanation for this crazy
sensation, as if the ground wasn’t quite stable under her feet. Maybe there was
a medical explanation, like vertigo. Or maybe Donna had spiked that White
Russian. For sure, she couldn’t risk another devastating humiliation at the
hands of a man.
She found Donna leaning on the bar,
talking to Mike. “Donna, I have to go home. I told my mom I wouldn’t stay out
too late.”
Donna turned a beaming, blurry smile
on her. “Mike was just explaining the benefits of celibacy to me. Did you know
it could raise my batting average by fifty points?”
Sadie smiled at Mike, who winked.
“Thanks, Mike. It was nice to meet you, but I’m going to take Donna home now.”
She couldn’t help looking for Caleb
as she herded Donna toward the exit. As one of the tallest men in the room, and
the one all the girls kept checking out, he was hard to miss. By the time she
reached the door, three girls had joined the two other fans. He leaned against
the wall, listening patiently to the little knot of admirers. The low light
created shadows under his cheekbones and made the stubborn line of his jaw
stand out. A slight smile tugged at one corner of his mouth.
His eyes shifted so he caught her
gaze in a sudden flash of steely silver. The half smile turned into a
full-voltage grin that transformed his face into something that belonged on a
movie screen. Her knees nearly buckled, but she couldn’t for the life of her
stop the smile that spread across her face.
She gave him an awkward little wave,
then nearly tripped over Donna, who had stopped to adjust her halter top.
Donna staggered, then grabbed onto a
nearby table. Sadie hauled her back to her feet and then, her face burning,
glanced again at Caleb.
His smile broadened even further. He
put his hand to his ear in a “Call me” gesture, then pointed from himself to
her.
Oh my God. He was going to call her.
