My First and Only Crush

Baseball's most valuable player? He has hidden feelings for me that have grown all season long, and now they've reached a fevered, possessive peak… I'm the coach's daughter, watching from the shadows as my father's best friend and star player wins the World Series for his team. Trick Lowry is almost twice my age and a bonafide celebrity, and I love him with my entire heart. It's the kind of secret, off-limits crush that feeds wild fantasies and reckless ideas—like sneaking into his hotel room while he's celebrating, just to have a little slice of him to myself. I innocently surround myself with his smell, thinking he doesn't have to know. But when he finds me there, wearing nothing but his jersey, I get more than I bargained for. He wants me, too. And not just for a single night of celebration. He wants it all.
