Rose Shaw has no idea what she wants. She put aside passion for practicality, earning her degree in a subject she likes, but doesn't love. Same for her job as a junior architect. And don't even get started on her personal life . . . been there, done that, got betrayed for her effort. So when sparks fly after meeting a renowned MLB player while on vacation, she takes him for what he is—a homerun in the sack, but nothing more. The next day, she sneaks back to Montana, leaving Bryson behind . . . but the memories of their night together refuse to disappear so easily.



Bryson Robinson knows exactly what he wants. His parents are a love-at-first-sight success story, so he recognizes what he felt with Rose Shaw during their night together could be the real deal. She has no interest in long-distance dating . . . so when the league's best pitcher gets devastating news that could be the third strike for his career, he turns it into a win, going all in to get the girl. Starting with a home in Montana—and hiring Rose to design it.



Now he just has to convince her that not all men, including MLB superstars, are players . . . if she's daring enough to take the risk.
