Does their one-night stand have legs? Will it stay or scramble for the door? Sportswriter Karma Deepika Huntington wants revenge. Rafael Henley, star pitcher for the Sliders, feels guilty.
A steamy, contemporary sports romance about a single dad, a baby girl, his so-not-his-type adversary and a set of colourful multicultural supporting characters.
Karma Deepika Huntington knows how to hit hard first then walk away without looking back. Now she's going to hit Rafael Henley, star pitcher for the Sliders, hard to avenge her husband's death.
Baseball is one of Karma's passions, the others being writing and food. Not only does the order of this change with her moods but she could also be doing two of them at the same time. Like writing with food on her face or watching baseball and eating. Real multi-tasking.
Rafael has one priority: to be a good father to his baby girl, Ali. He likes willowy blondes and women who don't look to him as their protector. Yet here is, lusting after the complete opposite: petite, raven-haired, Karma Huntington with a rose tat running up her neck, brimming with confidence and fiercely independent.
He decides a one-night stand is in order and Karma agrees. Just to get that itch off. But once they get into each other's pants, things get complicated. Revenge and guilt take a back seat with sizzling chemistry in control. But the dark secret Rafael holds in his heart prevents any serious interest in pursuing Karma.
Will Karma let the past stay in the past and can Rafael put aside his guilty conscience?
