Dessa should have been mine... until my brother kissed her first. Ten years is a long time to be infatuated with your former best friend, especially when she's dating your brother. So, when I receive a wedding invitation with his name embossed on the front, it feels like a fastball to the heart. But it turns out, my unrequited crush isn't the blushing bride after all. Now's my only chance to make amends for my past mistakes and give her the kiss I've desperately been holding onto. Unfortunately, she thwarts my efforts with each drink she throws at me. When we find ourselves locked in a storage room, we're forced to hash out the real reason I left town-and it wasn't for baseball. Turns out, there's a fine line between anger and passion and it doesn't take long for her to scream my name. Even after hitting third base, she still hates me. However, I'm determined to prove I'm not the man who ghosted her all those years ago. This time I'm not walking away. My last game ended in a devastating miss-costing us the world championship, but this is one game I refuse to lose. Because when it comes to Dessa... I'm playing for keeps.
