Tristan As the new center fielder for the Tacoma Wildcats, it may seem like I have it all. But, my love for the game and countless adoring fans isn’t enough to drive me anymore. I’m tired, drained, and at an utter loss of how to improve my situation. Money isn’t an issue. I have more than enough of it to go around. Only, happiness isn’t something you can buy off a shelf because if it were possible, I’d gladly hand over every single penny in my bank account for just a little taste of joy and normality. So many things plaguing me are out of my control and when they’re added to the secret I’ve been keeping from my team, it’s a burden my shoulders are struggling to carry. As if I didn’t have enough to worry about, I’m forced to work with a new agent who insists on chipping away at the wall I’ve built around myself with his kindness and compassionate nature. I try my damnedest to ignore the way my heart flutters when he’s near and the way his voice causes my skin to prickle with goosebumps, but there’s no denying what my body is telling me. Javier has me careening down a slippery slope of desire and there’s nothing I can grab onto to stop me from falling hard for this man. Javier The last thing I needed was to have Tristan Sweet’s spoiled ass dropped in my lap and not in the literal sense either. I would have definitely enjoyed that a lot more than having to deal with his pretentious attitude on a daily basis. Is he the first arrogant client I’ve come in contact with? Of course not. Is he irritating the crap out of me? Hell the f*ck yes. I’m doing my best not to lose my sh*t trying to make this man happy, but nothing I do is ever to his satisfaction. He wants bigger endorsements and more money despite the millions he already has. It’s obvious that being one of the highest paid players in the league isn’t enough to appease his greedy nature. Yet, no matter what I do to try and convince myself that he isn’t worth the trouble, my traitorous heart wants to please him in every way possible. I know I’m riding a fine line between business and pleasure. I also know mixing the two can cause disastrous consequences for the company. The only problem is, when I look at Tristan, I’m blinded by a need to make him completely and undeniably mine.
