My life was spiraling out of control, and I couldn't stop it. My husband, the man who was supposed to love me, was doing everything he could to hurt me. My brother's wife thought I was a horrible mother and useless person. The wannabe baseball player was unbearable with his cocky attitude and sexy smile. Secrets were piling up, and tensions were worse than ever. I had no idea what I was going to do. Then I had a dream that rocked my world and brought me to my knees at the same time. Was it me? Was I a bad wife? Was I as bad as him? Was I to blame for everything? Just when the guilt and ...

Wes: Life on the road as a pro-ballplayer isn't without it's drawbacks. And now, without a team to play for, I find myself heading home. Maybe it's a good thing.

But, is there anything that could keep me in town if another team came calling?

I was getting ready to turn eighteen and was looking forward to starting my senior year of high school. They say senior year is the best, but I wasn't so sure. Lance Smith, a retired Pittsburgh Pirate, was the most overprotective man I'd ever met. He was also my dad. I was Sammie, his little tomboy baseball player. That was the only way he'd ever see me. My bedroom walls were still covered with scenes he'd painted before I was even born. A picture of him still hung on my wall. The words date, boyfriend, and college all sent him into a crazy speech about his little girl not growing up. He ...

Aaron James is #1 on my list…my hate list. And he’s determined to get himself off that list and into my bed. He’s an all-star baseball player and his Instagram profile shows just how popular he is with the ladies. I can’t say I blame them, he’s perfection on the outside. But on the inside - cocky, playboy, egotistical…the list goes on. Hate him. I moved back to my hometown after my mom died to live my dream of opening my bakery, and now I can’t seem to keep him away. He’s everywhere. It doesn’t help that he’s my nephew’s little league coach, my brother’s best friend,...

Well, ladies, it's time to step up to the plate and get into the game with this relationship hit that's just in time for the playoffs!

"I don't want to play anymore." Those six words coming out of James' mouth stopped the world around us. They were the most powerful words I'd heard since "It was all a mistake." He was really beginning to have a knack with changing lives one sentence at a time. Both of our dads began asking questions. Then they started telling him how wrong he was. They knew exactly what he needed, time. The more they told him, the more irritated I got. While I thought James was crazy, I totally understood where he was coming from and what he was about to go through. My dad was much worse than his. He was ...

When they announced the sale of our company at a meeting, I had no idea what I was going to do. I'd moved my entire life for that job. I had a lease on an apartment and was two states away from my family. I didn't want to have to move back home, not with him there. The very next day they called another meeting. I couldn't imagine what they had to say could have been any worse than the meeting before. It was bad enough that I'd gotten drunk for the first time in three years after the first meeting. I'd barely been able to get my ass to work the next day and looked awful. My best friend, ...

My senior year definitely had some ups and downs. I'd gone to my prom, but it hadn't worked out exactly like I thought it would. It was even better. My dream had come true. I'd finally gotten that second kiss from my best friend, after he'd saved me from my creepy date of course. That kiss led to the most amazing night of my life. Everything was perfect. At least I thought it was. Then I woke up the following morning and everything changed. It was all a mistake. He'd never know just how much those few words changed my life. I was going off to college, and I was looking forward to every ...

The company I worked for had been bought by who I later found out was my best friend's ex. That was one crazy story. He ended up being a retired Pittsburgh Pirate. I was just as shocked when I found out. He'd gotten three of his ball playing friends to agree to do some promotion for the company for practically nothing. I was going to be the one to get them everything they needed while they were there. Out of the three of them, I was sure there would be at least one sexy man that would have the need to release some stress, and I was all for helping him. You see, I didn't do love or ...

There’s no crying in baseball. But there is murder. And when the World Series is fought between two teams both from New York City, millions of dollars are bet. And lives are at risk.

So, she and her assistant, Sergeant Johan Klassen, are forced into action before more victims—possibly even the members of the teams—are killed. The story ...

Two weeks, that was how long he gave me to decide. I could go home, and everything would go back to normal, whatever that was, or I could suffer the consequences of not returning.

My life was perfect. I had a husband that loved me and three amazing children. We had two homes, a gorgeous lakehouse up north, and a beautiful, two-story home, in a wealthy neighborhood, closer to the company my husband owned. I spent my summers up north with the kids and our nanny, while my husband was only able to join us on the weekends.
