Lorelei Littleton knows exactly why she is sitting in a bar
eying sexy catcher Mark Cutter. It's not that she's a
baseball groupie who wants to go home with him. Well, she
does want to go home with him but not for sex. She's been
hired by his wronged ex-wife to steal his lucky charm for a
lot of money. Money that will help save the life of her
niece who needs an expensive operation. Lorelei will do
anything for her family, even grand theft. She's having
second thoughts and is about to walk away when Mark
approaches her.
Mark is a rich, successful major league catcher who was
burned by his first marriage and isn't looking for anything
more than a good time. Something about Lorelei calls to him
so he's more than a little pissed when he wakes up from a
night of no sex to find that Lorelei has stolen his lucky
charm. He tracks her down and is determined to keep her
close until she returns his property. The fact that
attraction flares between them just makes everything more
complicated. Can this couple recover from a bad start to
trust love?
Jennifer Season's excellent debut novel, STEALING HOME, is a
must read for fans of contemporary romance. I'm not a big
sports fan but I enjoy sports-themed romance and Ms.
Season's Diamond and Dugouts series will one I keep an eye
out for. Mark and Lorelei are well-matched as a couple. The
way they talked with each other was really engaging, whether
they were arguing, sharing their deepest secrets, or making
love. They had complex personal histories that created true
obstacles on their path to happy ever after. There was just
enough baseball action without bogging down the story. The
supporting characters were appealing, particularly Mark's
teammates. I'm looking forward to seeing what Ms. Season has
in-store for some of them when it comes to romance.
Love may be just a game, but the baseball players in Jennifer Seasons' sexy Diamonds and Dugouts series—they're playing for keeps!
Mark Cutter has it all: a lucrative baseball career, fast cars, and faster women—and all thanks to his priceless good luck charm. At least, that's what he thinks before Lorelei Littleton shows up. Next thing he knows, he's waking up alone, the sexy brunette has vanished, and his good luck charm is gone. More than a little curious about the wicked–hot cat burglar and determined to get his property back, Mark's going to track down the thief and make her pay—big time.
Maybe Lorelei feels a tiny bit guilty for stealing Mark's good luck charm, but when it's worth $100,000 and the money could save her niece's life? She's not losing sleep over it ... but him? Lorelei can't get the ballplayer with the bad attitude out of her head. And now he's come after her with more than just revenge in his eyes. Lorelei has a choice: turn over the charm and lose the money, or keep it and risk losing everything ... including her heart.
