Dirty Play by Hazel Parker

Pro-athlete doesn’t exactly scream happily ever after,
More like…heartbreak and scandal.
Especially as a single mom on the run from my past.
So when my secret admirer turns out to be baseball’s darling Nick Ferrari,
I’m not exactly over the moon.
Sure he’s hotter than sin,
And knows how to score one hell of a home run—if you know what I mean,
But with a crazy ex, and little boy to protect,
Love and fairy tale endings are the last thing on my mind.
He promises he can protect me,
That he’ll handle things with my ex,
But with his dark secrets and family ties,
I don’t feel any safer.
I swore I’d keep my feelings out of this,
But I can’t stop myself from falling and falling fast.
Do I deserve a second chance at forever?
More importantly—can I trust Nick to keep us safe?
