    About this ebook

    The biggest mistake Marcia Powers ever made was letting ballplayer Brock Carter walk out of her life. She made him choose his career over her hometown and held onto a secret—a four-year-old daughter posing as her baby sister.
    Brock’s back and this time, he wants answers, especially when Marcia’s little “sister” gets attached to him. Marcia’s dad isn’t telling and neither are her friends. Brock is determined to rekindle their romance and pulls out all the stops, debunking every one of Marcia’s excuses.
    Marcia is losing her heart again, but will she survive the fallout when Brock discovers the real reason she sent him away? What will Marcia lose to win back his trust and keep his love?

      This is book one in the Men of Spring Baseball Series.

      Being the first in the series, it could be read as a standalone.

      Author’s Heat rating is Steamy: Sex and lovemaking shown with naughty words for body parts. Love and lust intertwined, but couple is monogamous.

      ♥ Story ♥
      This is a tale of second chances. If you are into those kinds of tales, then you are going to like this. As a mom, I can relate to wanting whats best for your child. I didn’t quite agree with some of Marcia’s actions, but could understand the logic behind her choices.

      Marcia told a lie four years ago over a miscommunication and has been running from it ever since, despite never leaving her small town. The holes she digs for herself just keep expanding, as all lies do. Bianca is the one that truly suffers in the wake of her mother’s delusions of grandeur.

      Brock did what the love of his life asked of him and left town to pursue his baseball career. He wanted to make himself worthy of her heart. Now he’s back, and determined to claim his dream, but Marcia doesn’t want him to have anything to do with her or her ‘little sister’. A child that just happens to be close in age to the time frame he left town, but that thought never occurs.

      I had more feels for Brock and the other members of Marcia’s family than I did for her. She is a sloppy stack of pancakes on a good day, and she is a bit of a hypocrite. Luckily, the extra personalities balances everything out. There is a sneak peek at the end for Book two, ‘Playing Catch’, and it is quite amusing. I can’t wait!

      ♥ Author ♥
      Rachelle Ayala really brings the drama with this story! But don’t fret fans, there is hot steamy goodness too.

      ♥ Narrator(s)♥
      This whole series is voiced by one of the best duos out there! Tor Thom and Charley Ongel deliver again! Their performances make you love a character as much as you want to smack them for being an idiot.
