Harper Callahan came home to Stillwell, Texas to rebuild her life. Not to find a six-foot-one MLB pitcher nearly naked in her grandmother’s guest house.

She left behind a marriage to a baseball player that cost her everything—her career, her confidence, and about ten years she’d really like back. She’s done with athletes. Especially the ones who are too good-looking for their own good, say exactly the right thing at exactly the right time, and have absolutely no business believing in her like nobody else ever has.

Austin Lexington has never been anything less than exceptional. Until now. Six weeks in a small Texas town, rehabbing an elbow that may or may not cooperate, trying to figure out who he is when the game isn’t going his way. Stillwell is a pit stop, not a destination. And the sharp-tongued photographer next door is definitely not part of the plan.

But when they end up under the same roof, the line between "I can't stand you" and wanting more gets very, very thin. Between the stolen glances, the late nights, and the conversations that go longer than they should, their time together starts to mean something more.

Six weeks in a small town was always going to end. What they didn't count on was how much could change before it did. And when the clock runs out, they're both faced with a choice: the dreams they've fought for, or each other.

Bases Loaded is a steamy small-town sports romance with slow-burn tension, razor-sharp banter, and a love story that will make you laugh, ache a little, and root hard for two people who deserve it.
