Supposedly, I'm "too wild" to be offered a contract by my dream baseball team.

I need a wife so they'll think I've been tamed...

Ever since I was a little boy, I've dreamed of playing for the Baltimore Bay Birds. I grew up idolizing those players, and I ached to wear the orange and black, representing my hometown and playing the game I love.

But the team doesn't want me.

I'm one of the hottest players in Major League Baseball, but the Baltimore owner thinks I'm too much of a risk. All because I drink too much and might have trashed a hotel room or two in my day.

Everybody thinks getting married means you've "settled down."

I figure I need a wife if I'm ever gonna have a chance at playing for the Bay Birds.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about that woman who poured hot coffee on me the day we met. Sweet, beautiful, and stable medical school student, Lyric Rivers. Future doctor.

Also known as the future Mrs. Brady Keaton.

First Pitch Swinging is the first book in a new, steamy sports romance series. No cliffhangers, lots of humor and heart, and a sexy HEA.
