Fool Me Once

In a split second, all of my dreams were shattered.There's no place on the mound for a pitcher with a bum shoulder.Going back home was not in the plan, but it's the best place to heal.And to lay low. Media coverage on my injury is the last thing I need.The pretty massage therapist I've found is a welcome surprise.In the busyness of trying to live two lives—one a small-town boy and the other a big-time sports hero—I'm lost.This woman steps up and shows me some things I forgot all about.Passion in the midst of love.Family, friends, and healing in ways I couldn't imagine.Seems like the old me isn't at all who I am. And the joke is on me.This new guy wants to change everything for love.A Calendar Of Love Series is a stand-alone series based on holiday romance. You do not need to read them in any order at all. We're excited to bring you a year of holiday love stories, one a month!
