One crack of the bat drove us apart... And also binds us together—forever. The silence and rejection stings. But, at some point, I have to quit fighting for her—for us. Wils: I’ve been pretending for so long, it’s become normal. To the average person, I have it all…a multi-million-dollar contract to play baseball, four homes, and if I choose—my pick of any gorgeous woman on my arm. The only problem? The one woman I want—no, need—in my life completely erased me from her memory when we were only teens. I’d give everything up for a second chance with Kenni Davis, my best friend’s little sister. Kenni: When a ghost from my past is traded to the Sarasota Sharks—where I’m the Public Relations Director—I’m hit with the realization that I cannot keep running from my past, no matter how desperately I want to. The moment our eyes meet, I know he still loves me… And I can’t deny that I still love him, too. But betraying my brother isn’t an option. It’s been eight, long years since I’ve seen my soul mate. Wils thrusts himself back into my life and makes me second-guess everything. And honestly, I’m tired of running. Being near him again, after all this time, still brings me to my knees.
