BOTTOM NINE
Gwen Scott wants to love her job with the Charleston Thrashers, the MLB team sheâs worshiped since she was a kid, but she canât. Hateful colleagues and mind-numbing work make her days unbearableâuntil her head for baseball gets her exclusive access to the Thrashersâ clubhouse and she comes face-to-face with Tyler Ashe, the teamâs sexy shortstop and baseballâs most ineligible bachelor.Â
BASES LOADED
Ty has sworn off relationships in order to focus on his all-star career, but with his best friend gone, his team struggling, and the press blaming him for every loss, the most recognizable man in the majors is in a slump. Until he starts spending his time off the field with a stern blonde who recites baseball stats for kicks and sees through his arrogant façade.Â
TWO OUT
As the Thrashersâ season gets into full swing and Gwen adjusts to her new job, their fun banter and friendly teasing turns into stolen kisses and countless steamy nights. The teamâs strict policy against player-staff relationships throws a curve ball into the mix, but they canât hide from their feelings any more than the most famous man in baseball can hide from the spotlightâĶ Julianna Keyes is a Canadian writer who has lived on both coasts and several places in between.
