Reece Steele doesn’t do drama.
As the California Cougars’ hottest pitcher, #30 rules Wildcat Stadium, dominates the Tahoe Blues and Chicago Coyotes, and leaves a trail of broken hearts wherever he goes.
Everyone knows Reece is a player, on and off the field.
Then she happens.
Ava Bishop, the coach’s daughter, is off-limits, untouchable, and the one woman guaranteed to ruin his career if he makes a move.
One forbidden kiss becomes a curveball he never saw coming.
One taste becomes an addiction he can’t shake.
Now Reece is pitching for more than wins.
He’s fighting the one battle he can’t afford to lose for the girl he’s not supposed to want.
Because falling for Ava risks his contract…
But losing her would cost him everything.
This season, the real game isn’t played on the field.
It’s played with Ava Bishop’s heart.
