He's supposed to catch baseballs, not feelings...

Baseball catcher Tag Gentry's World Series dream is shattered along with his leg and possibly his career. The only thing that cheers him up is his daily visits from Skye Schuyler, hired by the team owner to make sure Tag is kept fed and on his diet during rehab.

Skye's new job doesn't ease her financial woes, but the paycheck definitely helps, and seeing Tag has made her days a lot brighter. She knows her crush won't go anywhere, but it doesn't hurt to dream, right? With her financial situation growing more dire, a little distraction is welcome.

Neither Tag nor Skye know that the team owner didn't just hire Skye for Tag... he's got his own plans for her. He's counting on her desperate need for money to put her exactly where he wants her. But he's not counting on Tag or his growing feelings for Skye.

Tag's new mission: to protect Skye, even at the cost of his own future with the team.
