My Calling (20 page)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Another book in the… uh, books? My “To Write” list is ever growing and this story came out of left field when Chantel Rhondeau, Rachelle Ayala, and myself had a late night conversation about starting another set. I was told I needed a hot hero and I definitely think Beck filled that description! The pressure was on to get this book finished and I barely beat the ticking deadline but I did! As always, I couldn’t have done it without my biggest cheerleader, Dawn Brock, who encouraged the broody Jonathan Beckerdyte so everyone can thank her for that. A huge shoutout to author D.L. Gallie who I can always count on to give me her honest opinion and to my writing bestie, K.S. Thomas, thank you for your digital creativeness and bringing Beck and Saylor to life! To my Lovers of Lyssa Layne, hope you enjoyed this psych out and will keep reading my works. You never know what kind of twists I’m going to throw at you. Love you all!!!

He also isn't used to not having his best friend, Camila Lemos, spend more time with her boyfriend and his brother Evan than him.

“Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off...the right pitch will come, but when it does, be prepared to run the bases.” -Rick Maksian

Colie Adger is trying to make it in the big leagues as an athletic trainer. Working in a man's world isn't easy but Colie has the help of Grant Adamson, a veteran pitcher on her team that has her back through the good, the bad, and the oh-so-ugly times.

Colie's elated when big time pitcher Jace Richards, her former crush, comes back into her life. This time, he wants it all, with Colie front and center.

Grant thinks Jace is too good to be true and doesn’t trust his rival with the heart of his trainer. Voicing his opinion, Grant steps to the side and lets Colie follow her own path. Colie is torn between Jace's lavish attention and the common sense of a solid friend.

Throughout the season, Colie must figure out how to make the best decisions for all the men in her life—both on and off the field. As good as she is at making decisions for others, can Colie figure out her own heart and hit a homerun off the right pitch?

In a man's world, Camila Lemos is one of the top sports agents in the market. The athletes beg for her attention, not just for business, but in the bedroom as well. However, feisty Brazilian beauty Camila is more than meets the eye and refuses to become involved with any of her clients, no exceptions.

Linebacker Evan Purser is the newest man in his family to join the NFL. Guided by his older brother and fellow teammate, he signs with Camila. Once the agent and the linebacker meet, anything but sparks fly.

As the tension rises, so do the feelings for one another, but neither will admit it. Evan can’t let go of the past. Camila’s not sure she can risk her reputation for love. When the walls are broken down, will a touchdown be scored or will it be yet another fumble for both?
