The second novel in New York Times bestselling author Heidi McLaughlin´s Boys of Summer baseball series.

---

From the New York Times bestselling author of Forever My Girl comes a sports romance with "a hot, complex hero and a gutsy, multidimensional heroine" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
I´ve given up everything for the chance to play major league baseball. Everything. Now I´m so close I can practically hear the crowd chanting my name. There´s nothing that could take my dream away from me . . .

Unless I lose focus. And Ainsley Burke is the most beautiful, distracting woman I´ve ever met. When I´m with her, I can´t think of anything else.

But no matter how much I want Ainsley, there´s no room for love in my game plan. I can give her a quick tour of the bases, but that´s it. Then I have to let her go. If she wants to think I´m a love ´em and leave ´em player, fine.

All dreams require sacrifice. I just wish this one didn´t mean tearing out my own heart.

"McLaughlin knocks it out of the park with her second sports contemporary... This novel goes above and beyond the typical sports romance with a hot, complex hero and a gutsy, multidimensional heroine. McLaughlin keeps the pace lively throughout, and just when readers think they have the finale figured out, she throws them a few curveballs. This novel will appeal to McLaughlin´s fans and will win her many more."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
