Grand Slam (Diamond Brides) / Diamond Brides (ePub)

The complete series - strong women meet cocky baseball players in nine sexy stand-alone baseball romances!

Perfect Pitch: Love is forbidden as beauty queen Samantha Winger prepares to launch a pageant-sponsored music program for kids. Samantha is willing to follow the rules until left-handed pitcher DJ Thomas throws her a wild pitch-a very public kiss neither of them can forget.

Catching Hell: Team owner Anna Benson is a willing "May" to catcher Zach Ormond very sexy "December" in this age gap romance. Anna's had a crush on Zach since she was a girl. That makes it even more difficult when she must trade him for the good of the Rockets, just when she'd rather keep him forever-on her team and in her bed.

Reaching First: Hotheaded Tyler Brock is assigned community service after a bar fight, working for uptight Emily Holt. Emily is ready to shed her secret, unwanted virginity. The couple hit it off, in more ways than one. But when illiterate Tyler shirks his book-bound community service, Emily must hold him accountable.

Second Thoughts: Photographer Jamie Martin is thrilled to land a job with the Rockets…until she has to work with her ex-fiancé, second baseman Nick Durban, who doesn't know he fathered Jamie's child. Jamie is so determined to keep him out of her life that she tries online dating-never dreaming Nick's her perfect electronic match!

Third Degree: Chef Ashley Harris and third baseman Josh Cantor are pitted against each other in a reality TV cooking show. Before long, the flames in the bedroom roar higher than the ones in their kitchens, but only one of them can win the grand prize-a gourmet restaurant at Rockets Field.

Stopping Short: Bad-boy shortstop Drew Marshall will be cut from the team if spin doctor Jessica Barnes can't save his career. Widowed Jessica knows nothing about baseball. When a well-intentioned teammate announces Jessica is Drew's secret fiancée, the couple is soon sharing one bed, a fake engagement, and a mutual attraction that's hotter than spring training's Florida weather.

From Left Field: Left fielder Adam Sartain and childhood neighbor Haley Thurman are deep in a bidding war on the nearby Reeves Farm. He wants to develop condos, and she wants to house a no-kill animal shelter. Neither is prepared for the heat when they realize the girl next door has become something more.

Center Stage: Twice-jilted bride Lindsey Ormond is ready to give up on being a good girl. Center fielder Ryan Green is happy to show her how much fun she's been missing, even if her brother Zach disapproves of their new relationship. But when Zach offers Ryan's father the job of a lifetime, Ryan has to choose between loyalty and love.

Always Right: Superstitious right fielder Kyle Norton meets his match in logical lawyer Amanda Carter. Desperate Amanda blackmails Kyle for cash-an easy sacrifice when he thinks she's the secret to his current hitting streak. But is there room for true love, when a legal career and the World Series are on the line?
