Hitting the Gap - Playing for Keeps - E-book - ePub

Hitting the gap is easy compared to falling in love with your best friend. For a smart girl, Bailey Reynolds has terrible taste in men. How else can she explain why she agreed to move halfway across the country with her fiancé? Her now ex-fiancé. The lying, cheating, jerk. Now she's not only in a new city, but homeless, and needing her childhood best friend to come to her rescue. Good thing she stopped believing in fairytales a long time ago because they sure don't happen for curvy girls like her. Fun-loving, Hawks third baseman Ramon (Gonzo) Gonzalez enjoys his single life.
Who wouldn't? He's got no commitments and his pick of women. But he'd do anything for the people he cares about, including giving up his spare bedroom. When he insisted Bailey move in with him, he'd thought sharing his space might take some getting used to. What he didn't expect was the late-night conversations and seeing her sleep-rumpled face over coffee to make him re-evaluate everything he thought he felt about their relationship.
Now he's lusting after his childhood friend. And that was never part of his plan. Getting girls has always been easy. Finding one he wanted to keep? Not so much, until now. But Bailey's fears and insecurities run deep. And it'll take all his skills to convince her a life with him is so much better than any fairytale ever could be.
