Double Play (Extra Innings #1)

LAYTON
Everyone thinks I have it all. The all-American superstar baseball player. The golden boy of Philly. The notorious playboy.
In reality, I’m just a lonely man who knows his career is hanging on by a thread.

Then an opportunity presents itself. My team is sold, and the new owners want to keep me around. The catch? I need to enter into a PR relationship with Arizona Abbott, the rising star of the local softball team. The most beautiful woman I've ever met. As it turns out, she’s my dream come true.

The problem? She's my best friend’s sister.

ARIZONA
After the toughest year of my life, I move across the country to play professional softball with my closest friends, to be near my brother, and to leave my baggage behind.

Needing to focus on my fresh start, I swear off baseball players.

All of them.

In walks Layton Lancaster, the man whose poster hung above my bed as a teen. I’m asked to pretend to date him to save my team and my league. I can’t fall for a man like him again, so I need to keep him at arm’s length.

The problem? My fantasy man isn’t who I thought he was.
