Jace’s Ace by Amber Thielman

Dorky, curvy, and funny do not generally rank very high on your typical college star athlete’s girlfriend checklist. That unlikely match wasn’t even the surprising part, because what happened next could bring it all crashing down…

Macie:
When I agree to tutor Jace Gregory, I expect an entitled college athlete to show up. Instead, I meet a kind, hardworking, and very handsome guy. Suddenly, all my thoughts circle around him. I crave his touch. I need his lips on mine. Before long, I’m falling for him hard. Nothing in my life has ever felt so right. Yet, just as I begin to believe in a happily ever after, I’m diagnosed with leukemia.
I love Jace too much to put him through such an ordeal and derail his baseball career. The decent thing is to break up with him, but that’s easier said than done.

Jace:
Dating has never interested me, especially since most girls only want to date the college athlete, not the real person underneath the jersey. Then I meet Macie, my new tutor, and everything changes. The sassy, sweet, and gorgeous woman rocks my world and teaches me what love is.
But when it’s my turn to support Macie, she does all to push me away. Too bad for her that I’ve already made up my mind. I’ll stay by Macie’s side until the very end, whether she likes it or not.
