Payback — Cheryl Douglas

Loran thought he had it all. A huge professional baseball contract, a championship ring, respect and admiration. Then he met Bella. She was the one thing missing from his life. But a one night-stand that rocked him, sent her packing. She wouldn't take his calls or respond to his texts. He knew he'd made a huge mistake the night they spent together, but could he convince the girl of his dreams to forgive and forget?

Bella wasn't big on commitment and she hated players. The only thing she hated more than players? Jealous, possessive men who thought they owned her. Even though their attraction was off the charts, Loran checked every box on her no-no list. He claimed he was sorry, he'd changed, wanted another chance. But smart girls don't risk a heart that's already been broken.
