World’s Sexiest Catcher

So, what’s this book about?

Me

A baseball player who fake dates his friend to help her out and ends up falling for her.

World’s Sexiest Catcher

Why are they fake dating?

Me

Because her Ex is a dick.

World’s Sexiest Catcher

*laughing cry face emoji* tell me how you really feel

Me

Sorry, I just really get into these books.

It’s my only chance at romance. Well, so I thought, But I don’t say that.

World’s Sexiest Catcher

I can tell, but don’t be sorry. I like a woman with passion.

Shit.

I can see myself being passionate about his man. Talking with him is easy. Effortless. Like we’ve known each other for years instead of days. He’s hilarious, and sweet, and he’s so good with Hudson. Which is what matters most to me.

But he’s a baseball player and gone a lot, and the media…

I just don’t know if I can handle that. Needing to talk this out, I pick up my phone and send a text.
