Colleen Callahan is exactly where she’s always dreamt of being.
From a young age, she’s been groomed to take over as general manager of the Packton Pistons, her family’s professional baseball dynasty. Except she never expected her father would have to go to prison for the role to become hers.
The public, and even her own family, are counting on the first female to wear the title to fail. Hoping to wipe the slate clean and clear the club’s name, Colleen vows to put her job above everything else. Friends, a social life, her well-being, and most of all, love.
Until she meets the team’s new star player. Their chemistry is instant, igniting the stadium and her heart. But the last thing she needs is a distraction, much less a surly God of the clay diamond who seems to despise her.
Fate has other plans, though. If they’re found out, it could mean the end of both of their careers. Except hurtling so close to the danger zone has never felt more right.
Hayes Swindell would prefer hell over the place he ended up.
After a series of bribes and blackmail gone bad, the league’s most desirable veteran superstar finds himself playing on a team that he wants no part of. The family who runs this dynasty is corrupt, and he’s spent his career avoiding limelight exactly like this.
With a chip on his shoulder and the intention to hightail it out of Pennsylvania as soon as his one-year contract is up, he has no plans to fall for the very woman he should stay away from.
In his ten years in the league, he’s never once gotten bit by the love bug. But the moment he lays eyes on her, Hayes can see his days are numbered. When the forbidden happens, he has a decision to make.
Should they head for disaster together, risking it all, or course-correct and save themselves the ultimate price of heartbreak and scandal?
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Another great read from this author. Loved this book so much!
"There is this spark between us, I recognize the primal feeling in my chest. I knew it the first time I saw her."
Colleen Callahan has a tough job on her hands. Stepping into the shoes of her disgraced father, she's the best person to take over as General Manager of the Packton Pistons baseball team - even in the face of much opposition from her team and her own family. She has her job absolutely cut out for her but she's resilient and resolute in turning the organisation around, and hauling the team back out of the pit of ill-repute.
"There is something in his presence that feels lethal, that alerts me to the fact that we're no longer flirting with the line of no return."
Hayes Swindell is something of a veteran baseball player. He doesn't want to be in Packton, especially playing for a team owned by the crooked Callahan family. It irks him even more that he's undeniably attracted to the new GM, which influences his jerky behaviour towards her. However, when he gets a wake-up call about his attitude, he realises that he has to make the best of things, and he slowly starts to thaw towards Colleen and let some of his new teammates into his life. One traumatic incident for Colleen changes the trajectory of their relationship, and has them crossing lines and risking more scandal, their reputation and their careers.
"My God, I will never get enough of this woman. That might be the most dangerous part of this whole thing."
I was so caught up in this story. Hayes and Colleen were electric together. The forbidden aspect of their relationship added another layer of excitement to their pairing. I loved watching his psychology about his job and Colleen changing. I thrilled at the gradual build-up in their relationship and the moment when he couldn't take it anymore and pretty much stormed over the line of propriety. Colleen is a tough cookie with a really soft centre. She put a brave face on things but she was so good at her job and determined to push ahead, in spite of the negativity that surrounded her appointment. I loved the stolen moments and the deeper connection they made, and the wholly satisfying ending! Hayes' devotion to Colleen made me swoon! This was a such a brilliant, sexy, emotional story. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
