Diving Catch

Lauren Runow

Evan: For the past few years, the only consistent thing in my life was getting my hair cut every few weeks. Grinding my way through the minor leagues meant spending many days on the road and moving at the drop of a dime. I never cared though. I was living my dream and playing the game I love.When I finally make it to the show, I should have known my sister was up to something when she found me a hairstylist and even went as far as scheduling my appointments for the next few months.Christy: I had no clue who would walk through the salon's door after a woman called to schedule an appointment for her brother. She'd completely left out the fact that he had just moved to Nashville to play for the Tennessee Terrors baseball team as their new rookie left fielder.Of course I notice the athletically fit, handsome man sitting in my chair, but I swore off dating any of my clients after the last one left me pregnant and alone. 
 
My son is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I love that it's just the two of us.When the Terrors have an open batting session inviting families to come watch, catching a ball is the most exciting thing I think will happen, but when the cute guy on the field comes over to talk to my son, I see it's the same guy who sat in my chair today.

The Player’s Game

Alice Gaines

I've got to admit, life is sweet these days. As a starting NFL quarterback, I do okay, and I haven't been lacking for female companionship. But I'd give it all up in a heartbeat if I could get back the woman I loved and lost—my ex-wife, Katy. 
 
 
 
Now I'm at a wedding, watching one of my best friends tie the knot. I'm happy for him—really. I just wish things had turned out better when I'd taken that walk down the aisle. Still, those days are over. 
 
 
 
I'm on my way up to my room when I run into my ex in the elevator. It's like karma. Has to be. Only she's with some random guy, who's getting a little too handsy for my liking. I can't help myself—I have to say something. Something that ruins her night . . . and mine, too. 
 
 
 
Now, I'm sitting alone in my hotel room, when suddenly, Katy's at my door, complaining that I ruined her thirtieth birthday. Her solution—that I give her the night of sexual adventure I'd derailed in the elevator. 
 
 
 
I never was very good at saying no to her . . .

Louisa Masters

There’s nothing I want more than a life with him… but my past is the world’s worst wingman.

Because the impossible happened, and we got our second chance. A safe home. A tomorrow worth planning for. And a future I want to spend with Dáithí.
 
He’s amazing—sassy, clever, the kind of guy who can cut you down with one eyebrow and still make you laugh. We’ve known each other a long time, and convincing him to date me was one of the best wins of my long life. Convincing him to be my boyfriend? That’s a fight I might not win.Because the reputation I earned when I was living life to the fullest has stuck, and Dáithí’s convinced I’m only in this for a good time, not a long time. He’s protecting his heart from future damage by keeping things casual between us… even though they’re not.
 
How do I prove I want him forever?

The Third Miss Symons

F. M. Mayor

Miss Mayor tells this story with singular skill, more by contrast than by drama, bringing her chief character into relief against her world, as it passes in swift procession. Her tale is in a form becoming common among our best writers; it is compressed into a space about a third as long as the ordinary novel, yet form and manner are so closely suited that all is told and nothing seems slightly done, or worked with too rapid a hand. (Summary from the Preface by John Masefield)
