HIS GAME NEVER FAILS...
Baseball star Oliver Shields has always lived for the game-and now the New York Saints have finally made the play offs. The season isn't over yet, but meeting gorgeous Amelia Graham seems like a bonus grand slam-until one night of partying threatens to take Oliver out of the game for good...

UNTIL SHE puts his heart in play...
All work and no play has always been Amelia's motto, earning her a coveted job on Wall Street and the freedom she's always longed for. Oliver is a real player-in more ways than one-and a distraction she doesn't need, especially when she's trying to win a chance at her dream assignment at work . When flirtation turns to attraction so fierce neither one of them can say good-bye, will Oliver and Amelia step up to the plate-and give love a chance?

"Sexy...[with] emotional intensity."

About the Author

Melanie Scott would love to live in a world where professional napping was a thing. But until then, she thinks writing books is a pretty awesome alternative. When not writing about imaginary people, she can be found reading, doing something crafty, binge watching TV, playing her latest song crush on repeat, or otherwise avoiding housework. She lives in Melbourne, Australia in a tiny house stuffed full of books, too many craft supplies, and a varying number of feline overlords who take up more space than you would expect. She also writes romantic fantasy and urban fantasy as M.J. Scott.

12/21/2015
Scott’s cozy fourth installment of the New York Saints sports romance series (after Lawless in Leather) pairs a Wall Street economist with a fun-loving baseball player for a romp that combines heart and heat. After 14 years on the New York Saints, first baseman Oliver Shields is good and ready to make the playoffs—no matter how much upstart transfer Finn Castro might want his spot on the team. Oliver meets Finn’s honorary big sister, Amelia Graham, at a team party, and he’s intrigued by the witty beauty. Amelia’s deeply indebted to the Castro family—they looked after her when her own family was unable to—but does that extend to despising everyone that Finn dislikes? After a dramatic event rocks Oliver’s world, he tries to figure out whether Amelia can be a part of his new life, while she worries about the secret she’s keeping from him. Scott’s agile storytelling and engaging characters make this contemporary tale one to savor. Agent: Irene Goodman, Irene Goodman Literary Agency. (Feb.)
