Sliding
Into Second
Jilted once before, now it's her turn to
level the playing field.
Hotshot sports reporter Sage Millan has been busy
making a name for herself in the male dominated world of baseball. She's just
landed her dream job, and her first assignment is covering the newly crowned World
Series champions, The Kingston Crushers. This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
The only problem…her ex-boyfriend, and the only man she's ever loved, is the
team's second baseman. Things ended badly between them, and she's not sure she
can put those demons to rest.
Professional baseball player Nicolas Cordova is
having the time of his life. His team has just won the World Series, and with
the victory comes more fame, women, and exposure than he ever could have
imagined. But things are about to change for the sexy, charismatic athlete. He
never expected his ex-girlfriend to walk back into his life, much less the
locker room.
These days Sage is smarter, more mature, and
doesn't plan on being played a second time. Her appearance stirs old memories
for Nic. She's the one he let get away in the name of his career. He vows he
can be the man she needs this time around. Will that be enough to mend her
broken heart?

Excerpt...
“I’ll admit
I’ve had many women in the past, and I can’t apologize for living. But as the
years went by, my feelings for you were always someplace deep in my heart. I
know that’s why I can’t settle down. Why I can’t find the peace I’ve been
searching for. It doesn’t exist without you.”
“How can you
say things like that? You don’t even know the woman I’ve become. I’m not that
girl who relied on you, the one who would’ve followed you anywhere. I’m not her
anymore, Nic. I can’t ever be her again.”
“Maybe I’m not
asking for her.” He leaned closer to her face. “Maybe I want to know the woman
you are today. I want another shot at this.”
“No,” she
whispered.
“If you
remember anything about me, I have a hard time with that word.” He tipped her
chin, focusing on her lips. “I am going
to kiss you. Right here and right now.”
Her knees
buckled as a cool tremor swept through her. She wanted to say no. It was the
only logical word to mutter, but her heart didn’t want her to say it. Her body
wasn’t on board with turning him down either. The warmth that built in her
stomach had moved lower, and now all she could think about was his lips on
hers.
“It doesn’t
sound like you’re asking,” she breathed out.
“I’m not.”
Before she
could say anything else, his mouth was on hers, eager, but slow and soft. His
stubble grazed along her chin as he tilted his head and deepened their bond.
The sound throughout the crowded lobby seemed to fade into the background, and
soon, all she could hear was her heart pumping loud between her ears. Why did
he have to be such a freakin’ good kisser?
After the
incredibly long connection, he pulled away, but not before stopping to kiss the
bottom corner of her mouth like he used to.
“I’ve waited a
long time to do that,” he said. “It was worth every lonely minute.”
“I... Nic...”
She’d always had the gift of words. It was what she did for a living, but in
that moment, all of her thoughts were jumbled and senseless.
“It’s okay.”
He grinned as he stroked her cheek. “Let’s get something to eat and maybe
figure this out. Whatever this is.”
“No.” She ran
her hands along his strong chest, resting them on his shoulders.
“Don’t over
analyze this, baby.” He glanced down at her hands on his body. “Let’s just go
with it.”
“That’s what
I’m trying to tell you.” She took a breath and continued before she lost her
nerve. “Take me upstairs to your room. I know how we can figure this out.”
“What are you
asking?” He placed his hand on the small of her back, drawing her closer to
him. “You need to be real clear.”
“I want to go
upstairs with you.”
“That’s not
why I kissed you.”
“Isn’t it?”
She smirked. “We’re adults now, Nicky. Let’s settle this like adults.”
“I’m not
looking to settle anything. That usually means it’s over, and we’re nowhere
near over.” He motioned for Joe. “I’ll take care of the bar tab and then we’ll
get dinner.”
“No.” She
draped her arms around his neck, intoxicated by the idea of being so close to
him again. He may be older now, and may have lost those boyish looks, but the
man he had become suited him and drove her wild with need.
“What did I
tell you about that word?”
“I can
guarantee I won’t be using it once we’re in your bedroom.” She ran her tongue
along her top lip. “I’m going to the ladies room. When I come out, if you’re
not by the elevators waiting for me, I’ll know that kiss was nothing more than
the heat of the moment and we can go on with our lives.”
“Sage?”
“Shh.” She
pressed her lips to his. “Now who’s over analyzing?” She reached for her purse
and coat hanging on the back of the stool. “I’ll see you in a few
minutes.” I hope.

honest review
5 koala paws
Ella Jade has been writing for as
long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with
her, and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have
always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That
all changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels
at a rapid pace and now she can't be stopped.
Ella resides in New Jersey with her
husband and two boys. When she's not chasing after her kids, she's busy
creating sexy, domineering men and the strong women who know how to challenge
them in and out of the bedroom. She hopes you'll get lost in her words.
She loves connecting with readers.
