An irresistible baseball star and a resistant hometown girl stumble
into love in a flirty romance by New York Times bestselling author
Lauren Layne.
Pro baseball shortstop Carter Ramsey is about to be Citizen magazine's
Man of the Year, but the only title that matters to him is out of reach:
World Series MVP. Benched by a recent injury, Carter retreats to his
hometown to recover. His ten-year class reunion and a potential
reconciliation with the sweetheart he left behind could be perfect
distractions. Until another old acquaintance throws Carter a curveball.
Olive Dunn admits that her former high school science partner is still a
handsome charmer. But she wasn't swayed then, and she won't be swayed
now. Because Olive remembers Carter's little shortcoming: he tends to
bail the moment it suits him, without a backward glance. Best to keep
her feelings strictly platonic while he's in town.
Except the entitled boy she knew is a changed man: solid, reflective,
and generous. As they ease back in to their familiar friendship, things
take a surprising turn, and Carter and Olive must decide if what they
have is a passing flirtation or a real shot at love.
