Beyond Third Base — Ava McKnight

Sara has finally found stability in her life. After a childhood of flitting around with her jet-setting parents, she's settled in Tucson, where she has a great job, wonderful friends and a house she loves. But her romantic life is a bit more complex. Sara's in love with a professional ballplayer she rarely sees, unless he's in town for a physical therapy stint.

There are two things starting pitcher Jesse loves--baseball and making love to Sara. When he's in town, they singe the sheets. This time around, though, Jesse is wearing his heart on his sleeve, and Sara's not so sure she can survive the emotional roller coaster that comes with loving one of the boys of summer.
