Reading the Signs — Keira Andrews

This hot-headed rookie needs discipline--on and off the field.

Pitcher Nico Agresta is desperate to live up to his family's baseball legacy. Since he was a teenager crushing on his big brother's teammate, he's known he can't act on his desires. His father's made it clear there should be no queers on the field, but if Nico can win Rookie of the Year like his dad and brother did, maybe he can prove he's worthy after all.

At 34, veteran catcher Jake Fitzgerald just wants to finish out his contract and retire. His team doesn't have a prayer of making the playoffs, but who needs the stress? Jake lost his passion for the game--and life--after driving away the man he loved, and he swore he'd never risk his heart again. Then he's traded to a team that wants a vet behind the plate to tame their new star pitcher.

Jake is shocked to find the gangly kid he once knew has grown into a gorgeous young man. But tightly wound Nico's having trouble controlling his temper in his quest for perfection, and Jake needs to teach him patience and restraint on the mound. When their push and pull explodes into the bedroom, Nico and Jake will both learn how much they'll risk for love.
