🔥 Cross the line. Feel the heat 🔥
Taylor and Nick have been as thick as thieves since tee ball. He’s her
never-even-thought-about-him-that-way best friend. The one constant she can count on when everything else goes sideways.
And right now, everything is sideways. She grew up a daddy's girl, but she's learned things that make her father feel like a stranger. If that weren't enough to deal with, a vindictive guest has threatened to torch her hard-won reputation as a respectable businesswoman. Taylor copes by arming herself with lists and preparing for every possible eventuality.
Every possibility but one: Nick not just tilting her world, but flipping it upside down.
After an injury ends his Major League Baseball career, Nick returns home with a new game plan: steal Taylor’s heart. He’s ready to gamble it all: their friendship, his future, even his shot at a new career. Because if there’s one thing he loves more than baseball, it’s her. And now that they’re grown, he doesn’t just want friendship. He wants more—so much more.
Steamy banter. Twisty secrets. All the trouble you crave. Score covers all the bases.
