Cedar Creek Thunder

I hired a single mom to help make my small town fall in love with a baseball team. And now I'm the one falling in love…with her.Buying a small town baseball team might seem an odd choice for a millionaire tech developer, but I welcome the challenge.Moving back to my hometown and reviving the once-beloved Cedar Creek Thunder is an impulsive attempt to find a deeper purpose, and a life that is measured in happiness rather than dollars.A chance encounter with the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen has my temperature rising from more than the tea she's spilled on me. When she walks into my office for an interview later that morning, it quickly becomes clear there's no one better suited for the job .Isla Forrester should be off limits, but with a smile that pierces my soul, the single mom is fire wrapped up in sweet temptation. I've always had thick walls around my heart, but Isla and her son are breaking them down.Now my sole purpose is getting her to believe that loving her is no challenge at all. Julia Jarrett is a busy mother of two boys, a happy wife to her real-life book boyfriend and the owner of a rescue dog from Guatemala and another one from Taiwan. She lives on the West Coast of Canada and when she isn't writing contemporary romance novels full of relatable heroines and swoon-worthy heroes, she loves to run, practice yoga, drink wine and read.

I've thrown some curveballs in my life, but none hit as hard as my one night stand showing up, telling me she's pregnant.After losing my parents and spending eight years being "bro-dad" to my younger siblings, I'm ready for the chance to focus on myself again. And that starts with getting back on the baseball field, playing for the Cedar Creek Thunder.But I didn't count on Sage McCallister, the gorgeous brunette who made me laugh with just one line, showing up in my small town, half a country away from where we met. We had one unforgettable night two months ago, and now she's pregnant.With my baby.She's fiercely independent, and expects nothing from me, but there's no chance I'm walking away from the woman I can't stop thinking about, or my unborn child.Now she's staying in my apartment, and even if she thinks it's only temporary, I'll stop at nothing to prove to her that what we have is more than just a joint responsibility for the child growing inside of her.We've both lost too much to believe in fairy tales, but somehow, we've found each other. She's not just carrying our baby, she's carrying the future we both deserve.
