A sexy second chance romance from NYT and USA
Today Bestselling author Jessie Evans
The home run neither of them expected…
Pike Sherman is a legend in Lonesome Point, a hometown boy who made it to the big leagues. Literally. Professional baseball acquired one hell of a pitching arm and its latest celebrity bad boy when the gifted Pike was drafted seven years ago. Pike’s broken heart came along for the ride, too, but he kept that private, and since leaving Lonesome Point has kept his distance from his hometown. But when Pike’s little sister, Mia, begs him to be the Dude of Honor at her wedding, he can’t refuse. He takes advantage of a break in the season and returns home to find himself thrown together with the one woman he never wanted to see again.
Tulsi Hearst is on the verge of losing her Equine Therapy business, and letting down all the kids she’s come to love. After a mix-up with the grant board, she needs to concentrate on finding more funding, not dealing with Pike Sherman, the boy she sacrificed so much for, and the one person she’s ever lied to. And what a lie it is… Pike would hate her if he found out. She knows she should stay far away from the brooding man her summer love has become, but Tulsi can’t resist a slow dance with the only boy who ever made her blood rush.
After just a few days back in Lonesome Point, Pike can’t imagine life without the girl he left behind, but when Tulsi’s secret is revealed, his heart is broken all over again. The only thing worse than losing Tulsi, is losing six years with the daughter he didn’t know he had.

Pike
moved in closer, pinning her between his strong body and the driver’s side of
the truck, making her breath speed as he leaned down to whisper in her ear.
“You want me, Tulsi. I see it in your eyes every time you look at me. And I
want you.”
Tulsi’s
teeth bit into her bottom lip hard enough to send pain flashing through her jaw
as she fought the urge to lean into Pike. She couldn’t touch him again, or she
was going to lose the last of her self-control and put everything that mattered
at risk.
“I want
to taste you so bad it’s killing me,” he continued in a husky voice that made
her nipples pull tight and her thighs ache. “I want to see if you still taste
like springtime.”
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jessie Evans, gave up a career
as an international woman of mystery to write the sexy, contemporary Southern
romances she loves to read.
She's married to the man of her dreams, and together they're
raising a few adorable, mischievous children in a cottage in the jungle. She
grew up in rural Arkansas, spending summers running wild, being chewed by
chiggers, and now appreciates her home in a chigger-free part of the world even
more.
When she's not writing, Jessie enjoys playing her dulcimer
(badly), sewing the worlds ugliest quilts to give to her friends, going for
bike rides with her house full of boys, and drifting in and out on the waves,
feeling thankful for sun, surf, and lovely people to share them with.
