When love’s in the game you can’t
play it safe...
Book Description
In LOVE BATS LAST, author Pamela Aares introduces you to the Heart of the Game series. Get ready for All-Star alpha males
and the strong women they come to love!
A stormy night changes their lives
forever...
The baseball diamond isn't the only field for all-star player
Alex Tavonesi; he also runs his family’s prestigious vineyard. What he can't
seem to run is his love life. He’s closing in on the perfect vintage and the
perfect game, but so far the perfect woman has eluded him.
Veterinarian Jackie Brandon is eluding her aristocratic past and
memories of a soccer star who jilted her just before their wedding. She devotes
herself to a marine mammal rescue center on the northern California coast,
where hundreds of seals and sea lions are washing up dead.
A chance meeting in a midnight storm brings Alex and Jackie
together to rescue a stranded whale. Watching her work, he realizes she's the
passionate, courageous woman he thought he'd never find--he just has to
overcome her deep distrust of jocks. Jackie's passion and courage lead her to
discover what's killing the sea mammals. The culprits want to silence her, and
Alex is the only one standing in their way. What will he sacrifice to save the woman he loves?
Short Excerpt
She
whirled to face them and froze when she saw Alex. The wariness in her eyes
surprised him.
Wet
auburn curls fell loose and tangled around her face, framing her beautiful and
honeyed hazel eyes. She was even lovelier than he remembered.
“You do turn up in the oddest places.”
Without
a glance back, she headed toward the building she’d called the hospital.
“You
know her?” Gage asked.
“Not
really. Ran into her up in Sonoma last week. We weren’t introduced.”
“That’s Jackie,” Gage said,
tilting his head toward the departing woman. “She’s the boss. And that’s her at
her most suave. She might be wanting in bedside manners, but she’s the best
marine mammal vet in the world. She’s why I’m here.” He handed Alex the IV bag
he’d lifted from its hook.
“Pamela Aares deftly weaves together
the desires and strategies of world-class sports with the equally charged realm
of the heart to create fast-moving tales you’ll wish would never end.”
—Mary Beath, award-winning author of Refuge of Whirling Light on the contemporary series the Heart of the Game.
“A new star in the romance world!” —E. Alexander, New York Times best-selling author
