Saving Tate — Ashley Mercier

Sixteen years ago, a senseless act of violence left a young girl orphaned and in the hands of relatives who cared about nothing but her money. After running away at age sixteen, Tate Carrin was forced to reinvent herself and build a new life away from everyone and everything she'd ever known. Vowing to never rely on anybody, especially a man, Tate was stunned at her reaction to Cameron, a young major league pitcher. What will shock Tate further is Cameron's connection to her past and who she used to be.
