It was Friday night and I was ready to drown myself in a sea of single women attending a speed-dating event. Finding my mark, I would make her mine for long enough to get what I wanted. She wouldnt be able to resist, no one ever had. Except she did and now I needed her even more. She managed to play me; threw me a curve ball, and I was left with egg on my face. I didnt know her name, had no way of finding her. I didnt even have a glass slipper to go on... the only thing I had were her curves seared into my mind. Torturing me. Even if I did manage to track her down, there was no way I could let her get close to me. There was a good reason why I kept my distance from everyone. I had secrets to keep and people to protect. That didnt mean I wasnt going to try Consequences be damned. The Curve Ball is a full length contemporary sports romance novel set in Emilia Beaumonts Damaged Bad Boy series. Perfect for fans of Lauren Blakely, Kendall Ryan, and Vi Keeland.
