Sliding
Into Second
Jilted once before, now it's her turn to
level the playing field.
Hotshot sports reporter Sage Millan has been busy
making a name for herself in the male dominated world of baseball. She's just
landed her dream job, and her first assignment is covering the newly crowned World
Series champions, The Kingston Crushers. This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
The only problem…her ex-boyfriend, and the only man she's ever loved, is the
team's second baseman. Things ended badly between them, and she's not sure she
can put those demons to rest.
Professional baseball player Nicolas Cordova is
having the time of his life. His team has just won the World Series, and with
the victory comes more fame, women, and exposure than he ever could have
imagined. But things are about to change for the sexy, charismatic athlete. He
never expected his ex-girlfriend to walk back into his life, much less the
locker room.
These days Sage is smarter, more mature, and
doesn't plan on being played a second time. Her appearance stirs old memories
for Nic. She's the one he let get away in the name of his career. He vows he
can be the man she needs this time around. Will that be enough to mend her
broken heart?

Excerpt...
“I’ll admit I’ve had many women in the past, and I
can’t apologize for living. But as the years went by, my feelings for you were
always someplace deep in my heart. I know that’s why I can’t settle down. Why I
can’t find the peace I’ve been searching for. It doesn’t exist without you.”
“How can you say things like that? You don’t even
know the woman I’ve become. I’m not that girl who relied on you, the one who
would’ve followed you anywhere. I’m not her anymore, Nic. I can’t ever be her
again.”
“Maybe I’m not asking for her.” He leaned closer to
her face. “Maybe I want to know the woman you are today. I want another shot at
this.”
“No,” she whispered.
“If you remember anything about me, I have a hard
time with that word.” He tipped her chin, focusing on her lips. “I am going to kiss you. Right here
and right now.”
Her knees buckled as a cool tremor swept through her.
She wanted to say no. It was the only logical word to mutter, but her heart
didn’t want her to say it. Her body wasn’t on board with turning him down
either. The warmth that built in her stomach had moved lower, and now all she
could think about was his lips on hers.
“It doesn’t sound like you’re asking,” she breathed
out.
“I’m not.”
Before she could say anything else, his mouth was on
hers, eager, but slow and soft. His stubble grazed along her chin as he tilted
his head and deepened their bond. The sound throughout the crowded lobby seemed
to fade into the background, and soon, all she could hear was her heart pumping
loud between her ears. Why did he have to be such a freakin’ good kisser?
After the incredibly long connection, he pulled away,
but not before stopping to kiss the bottom corner of her mouth like he used to.
“I’ve waited a long time to do that,” he said. “It
was worth every lonely minute.”
“I... Nic...” She’d always had the gift of words. It
was what she did for a living, but in that moment, all of her thoughts were
jumbled and senseless.
“It’s okay.” He grinned as he stroked her cheek.
“Let’s get something to eat and maybe figure this out. Whatever this is.”
“No.” She ran her hands along his strong chest,
resting them on his shoulders.
“Don’t over analyze this, baby.” He glanced down at
her hands on his body. “Let’s just go with it.”
“That’s what I’m trying to tell you.” She took a
breath and continued before she lost her nerve. “Take me upstairs to your room.
I know how we can figure this out.”
“What are you asking?” He placed his hand on the
small of her back, drawing her closer to him. “You need to be real clear.”
“I want to go upstairs with you.”
“That’s not why I kissed you.”
“Isn’t it?” She smirked. “We’re adults now, Nicky.
Let’s settle this like adults.”
“I’m not looking to settle anything. That usually
means it’s over, and we’re nowhere near over.” He motioned for Joe. “I’ll take
care of the bar tab and then we’ll get dinner.”
“No.” She draped her arms around his neck,
intoxicated by the idea of being so close to him again. He may be older now,
and may have lost those boyish looks, but the man he had become suited him and
drove her wild with need.
“What did I tell you about that word?”
“I can guarantee I won’t be using it once we’re in
your bedroom.” She ran her tongue along her top lip. “I’m going to the ladies
room. When I come out, if you’re not by the elevators waiting for me, I’ll know
that kiss was nothing more than the heat of the moment and we can go on with
our lives.”
“Sage?”
“Shh.” She pressed her lips to his. “Now who’s over
analyzing?” She reached for her purse and coat hanging on the back of the
stool. “I’ll see you in a few minutes.” I hope.

WARNING... Pax will steal your heart
Will the bad-boy pitcher strike out
when it comes to love?
Shy music teacher Sophia Ballis has sworn off men.
After a bad experience with a college jock she decided it was better to be
alone than to get burned again. She focused on her education and now her new
job at a local private school.
Professional baseball pitcher Paxton Hughes is a
player both on and off the field. He's signed to the Kingston Crushers to bring
home the coveted championship title. Nothing can get in his way. Serious
relationships don't mix with a life on the road and he never loses focus on the
game. One-night stands are his specialty for a reason.
While out jogging one spring morning, the two
collide, setting their course in motion. Pax is immediately drawn to the
unassuming beauty. Sophia is aware of his reputation and decides one night of
meaningless sex with the attractive Texas charmer is just what she needs to get
over her self-imposed dry spell. Pax has more than a one-night stand on his
mind, but will his bad-boy persona and demanding schedule ruin any chances of a
happily ever after?

Ella Jade has been writing for as
long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with
her, and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have
always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That
all changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels
at a rapid pace and now she can't be stopped.
Ella resides in New Jersey with her
husband and two boys. When she's not chasing after her kids, she's busy
creating sexy, domineering men and the strong women who know how to challenge
them in and out of the bedroom. She hopes you'll get lost in her words.
She loves connecting with readers.
