Book Three in the USA Today Bestselling Philadelphia Patriots Series Assistant GM Taylor Page is chasing the ultimate prize--General Manager of the Philadelphia Patriots. But most men in baseball still don't take a woman exec seriously, especially a thirty-year old blonde with no on-field experience. Fighting an injury, veteran outfielder Ryan Locke's career is teetering on the brink. A single parent with a troubled daughter, retirement is out of the question. Ryan's best hope is for a trade to a team as a designated hitter, allowing him several more years of play. When Taylor needs a replacement for an injured first baseman, she comes up with an innovative but risky plan to trade a reluctant Ryan into the position. With both their jobs on the line, Taylor would be nuts to acknowledge the white-hot sexual chemistry between them. But when Ryan embarks on a game of relentless seduction, Taylor finds her control--and all her carefully thought-out plans--slipping away.
