I don’t do casual hookups, so I have no idea what to expect when I meet not one, but three hot guys who are into me. I’m an introverted, failing-book-shop-owning, romance-writer wanna be.

In his new position as head of the Baptiste family business, Saint faces many challenges. Nothing could have prepared him for the challenges that came with dealing with the alluring Naoki Childs. She was the insoluble problem his big brother, Jahad, talked about. A problem that couldn't be handled with a phone call, a meeting, or by simply emptying his clip.

She was much, much more than that.

Hope is a dangerous thing. It holds you close like a lover, whispering promises it never intends to keep, and just as soon as you relax into its arms, it lets you go.

Joining the coaching staff came with an unexpected perk: bringing his son, Miles, along to practices, games, and press events. It wasn't perfect, but with no support system beyond his team, Dex needed someone who could bring order to the chaos—a nanny and homeschool teacher who could actually keep up. On paper, Lucie Anderson was exactly what Dex was looking for. She was overqualified, comfortable with the demands of a pro baseball schedule, and in need of a job. The catch? She's the sister of one of his players… and the same woman who caught his attention in a coffee shop just days ago.

Saint Baptiste fell in love. That was never part of the plan. His relationship with Naoki was supposed to be purely physical. He never intended to feel anything for her, but from the moment they locked eyes four years ago, he felt something. At the time, he didn't realize that the feeling was love. Uncertain how to handle his emotions, he put up walls and tried to maintain control—the one thing he didn't have with her. In focusing on his ego, he did the very thing he never wanted to do: ignored the 'fragile' label only he could see and mishandled her.
