Double Play — Natalie Stone

Baseball was in her blood. Absolutely at ease in the locker room, utterly unschooled in the kitchen, she'd been relegated to The Back Burner- a cooking show! Sally Denning, WQEK's newest TV sportscaster, was seething. A rating war, a crazy twist of fate, and the fast ball that slammed into P. J. Decker's gorgeous shoulder all added up to one gloomy fact: Kansas City's playboy superstar would take her place until he was ready to return to the ball park. Stubborn, spirited, Sally felt she'd been unfairly benched. He might be a crowd pleaser, a hometown hero, a heartthrob used to hitting home runs on field and off; his gourmet cooking lessons might boil over into tempestuous lovemaking that made her temperature soar . but until she got her job back, she'd show him! He'd never get past first base with her!
