Baseball’s Sexy Bad Boy has come to Barefoot Bay, and he’s here to score... Brian “Boom-Boom” Callahan might have a million dollar swing, but his bad boy rep has gotten him in trouble with his major league baseball team, so he’s been temporarily sent down to the minors to teach him a lesson. Aubrey Adams’ fledgling PR firm has been hired to keep the Barefoot Bay Buck’s new hotshot hitter under the radar. All he has to do is play nice for the rest of the season and she’ll get a much needed bonus to keep her company afloat. Being sent down to the minors is Brian’s worst nightmare, but one look at Aubrey and he decides that the next four weeks might not be so bad if he can get the cute brunette to warm his personal bench. Aubrey’s not about to be anyone’s groupie, especially not to a spoiled athlete whose batting record is only surpassed by the number of women he’s reported to have bedded. But when Brian lays on the charm, Aubrey finds herself falling for the funny, kind, and intelligent man he hides from the press. When a well-intentioned gesture gets unexpected national publicity, Aubrey has to wonder if she’s up to playing in the big leagues, or if she’s just being played.
