( BOTTOM OF THE NINTH, BOOK ONE)
BLURB
Fed up with cheating women, Dan Alexander, star pitcher for the New York Nighthawks, grew restless. Searching for something more than a bar babe, he zeroed in on a girl in the stands. He never expected to see a beautiful chick pushing frankfurters. But the hot dog girl looked as smokin’ as the food she was selling. Holly Merrill found a place to hide in plain sight, as a vendor at Nighthawks’ stadium. Keeping her secret safe and simply happy to stay alive, she never considered finding love an option. After all, a bad girl doesn’ t deserve a decent guy, does she? Coming off his best season ever, Dan went into the playoffs, hell bent on winning the pennant and playing in the World Series. But could he maintain his focus on the field, where everything was going right, when off the field everything was falling apart?

EXCERPT
“ Why do they hire pretty girls to sell hot dogs?” Dan asked his teammate, Jake, in the next shower stall.“ Guess they sell more dogs,” Jake said, rinsing off.“ That must be it. The new one I just met is fine.”“ Yeah? What about what’ s-her-name?”“ Valerie?”“ That’ s it. What about her?”“ This girl sells hot dogs, Jake. Get real. You don’ t think Mr. All Star Pitcher would hook up with a Hot Dog Girl, do you?” Matt Jackson piped up.
“ If she’ s hot, and he’ s a horndog, sure. Why not?” Jake said.
“ She didn’ t look like a Hot Dog Girl.” Dan wrapped a towel around his hips.“ Probably one of Bud’ s charity cases,” Jake said.“ Yeah, a hooker or a drug addict.” Matt stripped down.“ She didn’ t look like either. Kind of classy.” Dan headed for his locker.“ You’ d give up great sex from Valerie for a Hot Dog
Girl?” Jake snickered.“ You never know. This girl might give more than hot dogs, Matt.”“ Don’ t worry. I’ m not giving up Valerie. Just curious,” Dan said.“ Damn! I was already dialing her number,” Jake said. Dan snorted.“ Like you’ d ever have a chance with her.”“ What makes you think I haven’ t?” Jake cocked an eyebrow.
