Claiming Connor — Debra Elise

Her biggest regret shows up wanting a second chance. He's determined to regain her trust and win her love.

He never forgot her.
Once upon a time Connor Holt's best friend's sister was his childhood nemesis. Years pass and one night in college they became more. Much more. But then he messes up; confesses to his best friend, takes a right hook for his trouble and makes a promise -- one he's now ready to break. He's done staying away from her. It's now four years after a night spent loving Reese, and he's traded to the Idaho Outlaws as the starting first baseman. He's right where he wants to be. In the backyard of the one woman he should never have let go. Connor faces an uphill battle but after a dare, and one helluva kiss, he's back in Reese's bed. She thinks all they have, all they need, is great sex, but he's ready to show her he's playing for keeps.

She tried to forget what could have been.
Reese Kincaid doesn't believe in fairy tales. She believes in hard work and has spent the last four years creating her dream. One she could control â€" not the one where he comes back and begs forgiveness. She soon realizes you need to be careful what you wish for because sometimes you get exactly what you don't want -- but need. Her nightclub and restaurant, now successful, has become a second home for members of the Idaho Outlaw's baseball team. When Connor is traded to the team he soon appears and asks for another chance to win her hand. But can she overcome the crushed hopes of her past and believe that Connor wants more than just the grand slam chemistry they have, or will he show her they can create their own happily-ever-after?
