Synopsis: Passion dominates the diamond in the second novel in this fun and flirty baseball romance series by the author of High Heat.
 
Paul Dudley, president of the Plainview Thrashers, is spinning out of control. Preserving his family's baseball legacy in these tough times takes everything he's got, and constant clashes with his father have left him struggling for authority over the team and even his own future. So when sports reporter Willow Bourne, a one-night-stand from a year ago, walks back into his life, he knows he can’t give into his feelings for her—no matter how strong they are.
 
Willow never expected to see Paul again, and she’s got her reasons for keeping her distance. Except the more time she spends around Paul, the harder it is to hide her secrets—or stop herself from falling head over heels.
 
As the sparks between them fly, Paul discovers what Willow has been concealing from him, leaving him with a difficult choice—keep the team his top priority or make his own legacy by following his heart...
 
Praise for High Heat
 
“A fantastic mix of life on the pitcher's mound, family loyalty, and being true to one's own heart. Readers will cheer for Tom and Sarah as they fight for what's right without losing themselves, or each other.”—Jeanette Murray, author of One Night with a Quarterback
 
Includes an excerpt from the first Hard Hitters novel, High Heat.
