Synopsis
Shortstop Tate
James has been traded from the all-American town of Milwaukee to the trendy
City of Angels.
Pink hair,
manscaping, dogs in purses... not his thing. This ball player is less than
excited about his new hometown. That is until he crosses paths with beautiful
Mia Tomko. She lets him know that not all L.A. women are just after fame and
fortune.
As Tate and Mia
find that their interest in each other isn't the only thing they have in
common, neither are prepared for what their future holds.
When someone from both of their pasts arrives, will it tear them apart or make
them closer?

Excerpt
Waves crash in the
darkness of the night. The moon peeks behind a few clouds as I lean against
Mia’s deck sipping whiskey. Once again, the thought of moving to L.A. doesn’t
seem so bad, especially when I feel her hand slide over my back pockets. Her
breath is warm on my ear as both hands run over my backside. I feel her smile
against my cheek. She lightly kisses it and whispers while she gives me a
squeeze, “I can’t wait to see you in baseball pants this season.”
Laughing, I turn around to face her and pull
her body against mine. She moves her arms around my neck and we exchange a
powerful kiss. My whole body shakes inside and I don’t ever want to stop
kissing her. What is this woman doing to me? I’m not the kind of man that wants
to settle down. Back in Milwaukee, I had a few lady friends that I would get
together with from time to time, but I’ve never seen a woman the way I see Mia
Tomko. She breaks the kiss, but I don’t let go.
“Good, you started the fire,” she says nodding
toward the fire pit. “I brought out the fixings for s’mores; hope you like
them.”
Chuckling, I nod my head as I let go of her
and she walks over to the table. “They’re actually my favorite.”
I watch her open the box of graham crackers.
Damn, even in torn-up jeans and a baggy Stanford sweatshirt she looks good. Reaching
for another bag to busy myself, I stop and look at Mia. “Reese’s?”
She nods with a grin. “Trust me, it’s way
better than a Hershey bar. It’s pure ecstasy.”
Leaning forward, I kiss her neck, making her
giggle. “Nah, I think this is pure ecstasy.”
Walking to the fire pit with roasters in hand,
I stand behind her so I can nibble on her neck as we toast the ‘mallows. She
tilts her head, giving me full access to her soft skin. A few turns of the
roaster and she holds the s’more in front of my mouth. My teeth clamp down over
the treat as I lock eyes with her. “Mmm… ” I moan. She’s right, the Reese’s are
delicious.
Grinning, she pulls
the s’more back and takes a bite herself. Chocolate smears on her lip. I lean
forward and run my tongue over it then close my mouth and suck her lip to get
every last bit off. As she slips her tongue over mine, I can feel myself start
to get hard and I moan into her mouth. Mumbling with my lips still against
hers, I utter, “You’re right… ecstasy.”
