From USA Today Bestselling Author Heather Dahlgren comes a steamy, forbidden sports romance that proves some curveballs are worth the risk.

Wilder ‘Wild’ Calloway’s life is baseball.
Pitch hard. Party harder.
Repeat.


As the New York Rebels' star pitcher, he’s untouchable, that is, until Amelia Bronwyn walks into the locker room.
His best friend’s little sister.
The team’s new sports psychology intern.
And the one curveball he never saw coming.


Amelia’s spent years fighting to be taken seriously in a world that only sees her last name. This internship is her shot to prove she belongs. No favoritism, no distractions. Especially not from the cocky, tattooed pitcher with a smirk that could melt steel.

But late-night training sessions turn into stolen glances.
Stolen glances turn into breathless kisses.
And suddenly, keeping their secret isn’t just dangerous—it’s impossible.


When the truth comes out, the fallout could cost them everything. His career, her future, and the friendship that brought them together.
Because loving Wilder Calloway isn’t just a risk…
It’s an
unexpected curveball that could change the game forever.
