The Ace (Men of the Show Book 2)

Book two of Men of the Show

"Love 'em and leave 'em" has been real estate agent Karen Bently's motto for as long as she can remember. She doesn't need a man, except to make her toes curl. Or so she thought, until her longtime crush, Ace pitcher Jerry Smutton, sets his sights on her.

After signing one of the largest baseball contracts in history with the Detroit Rockets, Jerry enlists Karen to help him find the house of his dreams. Their connection is instant and electric, but neither of them is the relationship type. When Jerry proposes a friends-with-benefits arrangement, that suits Karen just fine.

Passionate sleepovers soon turn into long, romantic evenings… Still, Karen and Jerry refuse to acknowledge they're a couple. Karen insists that she's immune to Jerry's heart-melting charm. Jerry's not ready to settle down. Denial is the name of the game, until one pitch changes everything…

Meet Jerry's teammate Chase Patton in The Changeup!
