Crazy for You by Julia Seth

ALEX: After an injury cuts short my career as the first baseman of the Chicago Wildcats, I don’t know what to do.
I don’t expect the answer to present itself when I agree to do an inspirational presentation at my old middle school.
The moment I see my childhood best friend and high school sweetheart, Maggie Townsend, walk into the auditorium with her students, I realize I never stopped loving her.
I’m not sure she feels the same, but I’ve got to try to convince her we belong together.
It’s Game 7 for her heart.
I have no intention of losing.

MAGGIE: Something’s different about Alex Townsend.
He’s not the happy-go-lucky boy I grew up with.
There’s an undercurrent of darkness that runs just below the surface of his charming, handsome exterior.
It’s a little scary, but I’m also intrigued.
He wants me, that much I know.
But it’s only a matter of time before he tires of me and goes back to his starlets.
That’s okay. We live in wildly different worlds, after all.
Before he leaves, though, I’m going to take him to school and teach him a thing or two about love.
And that’s a promise.
