Double Play (ePub)

Sky Zeigfeld has a new job with Mimosa Key's brand new Minor League baseball team, the Barefoot Bay Bucks. She's left cold, rainy Philly behind-as well has her former boyfriend/boss, Handsome Ben, who'd taken advantage of her naiveté and played her like a Stradivarius. Although she already misses her parents and five brothers, she's found a new roommate, leased a new condo and made a few new rules-no more exclusive relationships and no more special favors for any guys. She'll play the field, pun intended, and enjoy the sunny skies of Florida. With all the hunky guys trying out for the new team, she's got lots to choose from. But the first one Sky will cross off her list is the handsome would-be pitcher who seems to think good looks and a dazzling smile will get him around the rules.

AJ Reed is finally able to follow his heart's desire to become a professional baseball player. He's a bit older than most of the guys trying to make the team, due to obligations he owed his powerful, manipulative grandfather. The multi-millionaire banker, who paid for AJ's first-class education, did so with the understanding that he would enter the high-powered world of investment banking. It took AJ five years to save enough to repay the debt and slip the leash his grandfather had tied so tightly around his neck.

His only goal is to make the team-until he meets the beautiful brunette head of human resources. They get off to a rocky start, but now there is another goal on his list-and he won't be satisfied with achieving just one of them. Between fending off protective brothers and keeping up with dear old Grandad's sneaky tricks, AJ has his work cut out for him to win a spot on the team and the love of Sky Ziegfeld.
