Dallas Longhorns

Ten years ago, Dylan McCormick and Maggie Jennings were two eighteen-year-olds in love. With a cold father and absent mother at home, he was drawn to her warmth, her humor, and her kindness. She was the best thing that had ever happened to him. But then he had to let her go so she could have a chance at a better life. One that didn't involve late-night diners and rusted out cars and counting pennies. And so, he shattered his own heart to give her a chance at something more.

Hunter Blake wasn’t planning to get married in Vegas. Then again, he doesn't plan much, living life by the seat of his pants as he tries to outrun the towering shadow of his MLB Hall of Famer father's reputation. But when he wakes up next to Marlowe Story—his friend with benefits and the woman of his dreams—with a ring on his finger, for once he doesn't want to run. Hunter feels like a different man when he's with Marlowe. A better man. Somehow, she's able to pull him out of his own head and help him tame his self-destructive tendencies.

Abby Gossman is unstoppable. An Olympic champion, she's now blazing a trail for women in baseball as the first ever female coach for an MLB team. All of her dreams are coming true, even if one of them has to stay in the shadows. Because if anyone found out she was dating Jake Landon, an All-Star catcher from another team, it would ruin her reputation. But then Jake gets traded to the Longhorns, and just like that the relationship is over. She matters to him more than anything, and he'll do whatever it takes to make her happy.
