India Baker reports the dirt directly from the dugout.
As a newly appointed sportscaster for the Tennessee Terrors, sheโs down in the trenches reporting live with up-to-the-minute reactions and in-your-face interviews about the team.
And the member who hates it the most is the number one manโmeโthe head coach.
Iโve known India a good portion of my life. Difficult to escape your best friend’s little sister or a woman who once dared you to kiss her. Now, sheโs the one that got away and a pain in my baseball pantsโ backside.
Life as a former professional baseball player turned coach has its foul balls and strike outs, and the one thing I am not willing to lose again is my heart.
Except . . .
She still gets under my skin.
She looks so good in those red-framed glasses and form-fitting dresses highlighting all her curves.
And even after all these years, she makes my heart race like I’m running for home plate.
Itโs not often a player can outsmart a potential double play on the field, but the truth is, falling for her was never a game to me, and I’m hoping to score a second chance.
Welcome to Music City Park, where the lights shine bright, the stakes are high, and the players of the Tennessee Terrors donโt just risk it all on the baseball field โ they gamble with their hearts too.
From second-chance romance to forbidden love, grumpy meets sunshine to enemies to lovers, single moms and single dads, fake dating and opposites attract, these baseball stars are about to learn the game doesnโt end when the ninth inning does.

One night, one kiss, and a spark hot enough to melt the ice.
Prestonโs all in on his hockey career as a Stingray, and Chelseaโs just about to start a new adventure in Parisโuntil an unforgettable night at an Ugly Christmas Sweater party changes everything. A few drinks, some dirty jokes, and a kiss under the mistletoe leads to a night of toe-curling, name-forgetting, no-strings-attached fun.
They part ways in the morning, no regretsโjust a sizzling memory they both assume will fade.
A year later, Chelseaโs in Baltimore, launching her dream bakeryโand navigating life with a baby she never saw coming. The father? Mystery man from that one unforgettable night. What she really didnโt expect? Him walking through her door, very real, very sexy… and very much still capable of making her forget how to breathe.
Preston hasnโt been able to get her out of his head. Now that he knows the truth, heโs not going anywhere. The question isโcan they turn one accidental night into a real shot at forever?
When I’m not making my son waffles for breakfast or teaching him how to swim, I am running a billion-dollar business. My life is scheduled to the minute, and thatโs the way it has to be. So, when my nanny unexpectedly quits, I need to find a replacement ASAP.
Riley is not what I expected. She’s so damn attractiveโand funny โ not nanny material at all. But seeing her with Jeremy makes me realize she’s exactly who he needs. I just have to burn into my brain that she’s totally off limits.
It’s been my son and me for years, ever since his mother left us. And from that point on, I’ve sworn to myself that I wouldn’t bring another woman into Jeremy’s life. Why confuse the poor kid with someone else that will probably leave? Nope. No dating at all! Thatโs worked well until now.
But the more time I spend with Riley, the more I realize she’s exactly what I need too.
Life is supposed to give you lemons to make lemonade, but what happens when those lemons are rotten?

Hoping to do some upgrades to his small, rural cottage means he needs to refinance, but how was he to know an angel looking younger than her years could reignite his spark while she helps him find him a lender?
Despite insisting she only does business over the phone, the brave man struts into her home filled with confidence. Fabulously curvy and full of sass, Jessikahโs history has her fearful of her growing emotions toward Paul.
Will closing on Lynxโs home be the beginning of the relationship she never dreamed possible, or will that door slam shut permanently when her past comes knocking?
The vampires are back. The griffins are circling. And Brigidโs B&B is one crisis away from combustion.
The Secret Haven Inn is finally running smootherโif you donโt count the escalating tension with the vampires. Brigid and her friends thought theyโd ended the threat, but the vamps have Kilchisโs police force in their pocketโฆ and maybe more.
Meanwhile, Brigidโs sworn to help Brightfeather hide her chicks from their royal griffin grandparents. If that secret slips, sheโs not just facing a vampire uprisingโsheโll have an all-out griffin war on her hands.
Whoever said running a B&B was easy should be shot. Honestly, itโs the magical politics, not the guests, thatโll drive Brigid to drink.

Splintered Secret, book five in the Splintered Magic series, delivers vampire power plays, griffin grudges, and innkeeper mayhem.

โYou donโt need to know everything about my life, Spitfire.โ
โRight back at you, asshole.โ
A slow smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth. โIs that my new nickname?โ
โItโs not new. Iโve been calling you that in my head since the moment I met youโฆthe second time.โ
He clenches his fists at his sides, and his eyes drop to my lips, darkening. Then his voice drops to something lethal. โGod, Iโd love nothing more than to turn your ass red right now.โ
A wave of heat rushes through me at those words, pooling low in my stomach, setting every nerve on fireโbecause I want that. I want him to spank me, to show me how much I get under his skinโI wanthim to admit that he wants me too.
God, this is so messed up.
But hell, I want to see how far I can push him.
So I spin around, bend over the arm of the couch, and push my ass out.
โFine,โ I say, my voice breathy. โDo it. Do whatever you want with me.โ
Silence.
The kind that coils tight, charged, humming with restraint about to snap.
I can hear Gageโs breathingโsharp, uneven.
But then he takes a step toward me. Then another.
Finally, I feel his heat right behind me. His hand grazes over my assโslow, testing, fingers pressing lightly into the curve.
A soft moan of anticipation slips past my lips.
โFucking hell, Hazel.โ
โTouch me, Gage.โ
I turn my head slightly, peeking at him over my shoulder, waiting for the sting, the sharp bite of his palm.
But it never comes.
Instead, he backs away from me, brushing a hand through his hair like heโs trying to physically rip himself out of this moment.
โGo to bed, Hazel,โ he rasps, turning for the hall.
I whirl around, my pulse hammering. โYouโre a coward, Gage Kingston!โ
He huffs as he walks away. โYeah, I am. If you only knew just how muchโฆโ
Penn Navarro is the best player in the leagueโunstoppable on the ice, untouchable off it. But the moment the game ends, so do the celebrations. Because no amount of goals, no number of wins, can silence the demons that haunt him.
Hockey is my life. Itโs what I was born to do. Thatโs not ego talking, just factโIโve spent years honing my skills, earning my place among the elite. But talent doesnโt erase my mistakes, and no amount of success will make me forget the damage Iโve done. Itโs why I keep my distance from my teammates, because if you never let anyone in, youโll never get hurt. Or those are the lies that I tell myself.
Mila Brennan represents the darkest parts of my history. Sheโs a ghost Iโve tried to bury, the reminder of everything Iโve lost. When she shows up in Pittsburgh looking for me, I know nothing good will come of it, because our sins donโt stay forgotten. They fester, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and Milaโs arrival means my time is up.
The past isnโt just knocking at my doorโitโs kicking it down, crumbling all the walls Iโve built around myself in the process. And when the danger comes for us both, Iโm forced to do the one thing I swore I never would. Let her in.

If I had a dime for every time someone said that to me, I wouldnโt have run away.
ย
Because regardless of what they tell you, time doesnโt heal the pain.
Because what I was doing wasnโt living, it was a constant reminder of the life Iโd lost.
Because I couldnโt bear the sadness I saw hiding behind Tatumโs eyes every time he looked at me.
ย
I knew he loved me . . . But for how long?
One day he wouldโve woken up and seen the same ugliness that I see every time I look in the mirror.
And that was something I couldnโt let happen.
ย
With some help from an unlikely source, I fled to the one place I believed no one would ever find me . . . Virginia. Donald Matthew and Wright Security helped conceal my past so the boy who holds my heart would never find me.
ย
Until he did.
ย
All I wanted was for the nightmares of that day to stop and to be left alone. Iโm not the same girl I used to be, which is why I need to protect my heart from the devastation Tatumโs rejection could inflict.
ย
But he refuses to leave me alone.
ย
Should I take the risk and trust him?
ย
Maybe theyโre right.
Maybe time can erase the past and heal the pain.
ย
Or, maybe Tatum will destroy whatโs left of my heart forever.
