  Praise For The Novels

  Of K. Bromberg

  “An irresistibly hot romance that stays with you long after you finish the book.”

  —# 1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

  “Captivating, emotional, and sizzling hot!”

  —#1 New York Times bestselling author S. C. Stephens

  “Bromberg is a master at turning up the heat!”

  —New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans

  “K. Bromberg is the master of making hearts race and pulses pound.”

  —New York Times bestselling author Jay Crownover

  "Super charged heat and full of heart. Bromberg aces it from the first page to the last."

  —New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott

  This book is dedicated to those women who love sports. The ones who didn’t think twice about getting grass stains on their tights as little girls, and now that they’re older, have no shame in sitting down to watch a game with the guys.

  I’ve always been a sports girl.

  The book is dedicated to nerd girls. The ones who like to sit at home on a Friday night and get lost in the pages of a good book. The ones who always want to learn new things. Never be ashamed of being smart.

  I’ve always been a nerd girl.

  This book is dedicated to strong girls. To the ones who would rather help their fellow women succeed rather than try to bring them down.

  I’ve always been a strong girl.

  This book is dedicated to the insecure girls. Yes, you. I see you. I’ve been you. I am you. It’s okay to spread your wings every once in a while and see how far you can fly. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

  Look at me, I did.

  Prologue

  Easton

  The rush hits me.

  The adrenaline through my body.

  The roar of the crowd in my ears.

  The mixture of scents—dirt, popcorn, leather, pine-tar—in my nose.

  They’re my lifeline.

  My constants.

  The only religion I was ever taught to believe in.

  The only thing I was ever allowed to be.

  For those few moments before the pain hits—the blinding, excruciating, unending pain—when the dust is dancing around me and I can feel its grit sliding beneath my body, I remember why I love the game.

  Everything about it.

  And then I look up.

  Our eyes meet. It’s a split-second connection. But I’m reminded of something. Of someone.

  And then it’s gone.

  Because now there’s only pain.

  It takes over.

  Steals my breath.

  Kills my streak.

  And hopefully doesn’t ruin my future.

  Scout

  Four months later

  “How do you want me?”

  Hazel eyes.

  An arrogant smirk.

  Those are the first two things about Easton Wylder that grab my attention when he peeks his head around the training room door.

  I open my mouth to speak but fall silent when he walks over the threshold and comes into full view. And it’s not just because he’s shirtless—that’s par for the course in my job—but rather it’s everything about him that knocks the words from my lips. The bare, tanned, and very toned chest. The low-slung gym shorts showcasing a perfect V of muscles. The happy trail ever so slightly visible, which draws my eyes to where I shouldn’t be looking.

  But I do look.

  And that’s a problem. Because even if it’s only for a moment, it’s still long enough for him to notice. I snap my eyes back up and over his dark scruff to once again be greeted with that cocksure smirk that I swear taunts me and asks if I like what I see.

  Another day. Another client. Another player.

  I shouldn’t have expected any less.

  He’s hot. I’ll give him that. Like the mouthwatering, stop-traffic, draw-all-eyes-when-he-walks-into-a-room type of hot. And not only that, but he’s a freaking god on the field. One of the best catchers I’ve ever seen. Batting average, on-base percentage, caught-stealing percentage, pick-offs, pass balls—all his stats say if he stays on this track, he’ll be one of the greats someday.

  The total package.

  But if first impressions are any indication—the arrogant lift of his eyebrows and cocky set of his shoulders—I already know he’s going to be like every other total package I’ve worked with before. Great to look at but a bore to work with. Conceited and one-dimensional. If it’s not about him, he doesn’t want to talk about it.

  I hope I’m wrong, or else this is going to be a long three months. Not only that, but I’ve admired his career over the last few years and would prefer to keep admiring the man I perceived him to be, too.
