“This is sports romance at its best! I was hooked from the first page!” – Claire Contreras, New York Times bestselling author
The Ninth Inning, an all-new standalone sports romance from New York Times bestselling author J. Sterling, is available now!
Cole Anders is in his last season at Fullton State. If he doesn’t get drafted this year, he’ll be forced to hang up his cleats for good. It’s not something he’s ready to do.
To prove he’s serious about his final season, he’s given up girls. No more casual hookups, dates or one-night stands. But there’s one girl who has always refused to give up on him. One girl who has been there since the start of Freshman year. One girl he stupidly assumed would always be waiting for him when he got off the field, no matter how long it took.
Christina’s had enough of Cole pushing her aside for baseball. She’s grown tired of waiting for him to see what she’s known since they were freshmen… that they are good together. She’s finally moved on- for good this time.
Cole has other ideas, but she refuses to cave. It’s not her problem if he wants her now. Too little too late.
There comes a point in your life when you have to stop the incessant merry-go-round and just get off the ride, right? Try telling that to Cole.

About J. Sterling
My goal is to write books that you can get lost in and stories that will leave you with a smile and a full heart. If you can forget about the real world while you’re reading and fall in love with my characters, then I’ve done my job. A lot of what I write has real life aspects in it, but that’s what makes the stories so relatable- the fact that they could happen to anyone… and have!
I live in California with my son, Blake. If you can’t find me sitting behind a computer screen, then there’s a good chance I’m sitting in the bleachers of a baseball stadium watching him play. I love traveling to new places, meeting my readers and spending time with the love of my life, my very own second chance romance, who inspires me daily.
I know you have a million books to choose from and I am humbled, grateful and thankful each time you choose to read one of mine, or tell someone else to read them. Thank you.

Review
Cole is a college student with dreams of becoming a professional baseball player so his sport comes first and everything else comes a distant second. He has had a casual relationship for Christina for the last three years but when he feels his performance declining on the field he decides that having her in his life is a distraction he doesn’t need.
Christina has deep feelings for him otherwise she wouldn’t have stayed on the fringe of life and accept what little time he chose to give her. She has now realized how little she means to him so she will move forward with her life and leave him in her past.
Months later they both happen to be at the same party and he is starting to regret the choice he made but she is cautious as he broke her heart once and doesn’t believe that he wouldn’t do the same if they encountered any obstacles. This is a challenge he can’t afford to lose so it is game on!
Cole doesn’t realize how deeply he felt about Christina until he lost her while Christina has always known how she felt about Cole but she wasn’t about to settle anymore.
