Catching Her Heart

"Love Inspired inspirational romance"--Spine.

When a beautiful brunette driver meets Nashville Slammers catcher, Sawyer McBain, at the airport, he figures it's his lucky day. Sure, he's usually pretty guarded around people, especially after what happened with his ex, but he can definitely enjoy the car ride. Until she passes his apartment...and keeps driving. All of a sudden the woman seems a lot less like romance material and a lot more like a kidnapper. What gives? Slammers executive Addison Carlisle needs one little favor. Sure, she may have kinda maybe kidnapped one of her professional baseball players, but it’s for a really good cause. She desperately needs someone high-profile to auction off that night for the multiple sclerosis society she’s chairing, but he insists he wants a favor in return. Soon Addie and Sawyer are trading completely ridiculous I.O.U.s, like being his plus-one to his grandmother's poker game or keeping each other company at the driving range. But when their agreement goes from flirty to fiery, neither is ready to let their guard down for a shot at love. Each book in the For Love of the Game series is STANDALONE: * Covering All the Bases * Catching Her Heart

He’s a soldier haunted by what he saw… For Wyatt Forrester, becoming a Marine and then getting on an elite team was a no-brainer. He was made for excitement and danger. But when a mission goes wrong and his friend dies, Wyatt goes home to get his head on straight. His beautiful and meddlesome best friend Penny is determined to help him figure things out, and her methods are deliciously unorthodox. Wyatt’d be lying if he said he hadn’t ever thought about Penny as more than a friend. Hell, he spent most of high school trying to impress her, but she made it clear they were only friends. But when they kiss, it blows all that “only friends” stuff out of the water. Wyatt can’t pretend anymore. He’s got to have her, consequences be damned. He might not know where he belongs, but he knows who he wants. She’s the friend he’s always desired… Penny Edgecombe lived a wild musician’s life, but now she’s devoted to her five-year-old son. Now, she’s given up music, and she’s given up men. She doesn’t have the time or inclination to date seriously. Her biggest fear is getting trapped in a relationship as loveless as the one her parents had. The only man she’s ever let into her heart is Wyatt, but she even put boundaries on that, though those boundaries get pushed when their friendship careens into toe-curlingly passionate territory. Soon, Penny’s traitorous heart wants more. But outside forces are determined to tear them apart. While Wyatt grapples with the ghosts in his past and tries to find a path forward, Penny has to face her fear and fight for the man who’s finally caught her wild heart.

A young woman must choose between passion and pride in this historical saga from “a superb writer who does Western Americana with flair and humor” (RT Book Reviews). Keturah “Ket” Tremayne belongs nowhere, to no one. Born of an Apache mother and a “white-eyes” father, she is an outcast in both worlds. Ket has erected a wall around her heart, a wall of hatred for all whites, especially the soldiers at Fort Davis—and her stepmother, Sabrina. Now Ket has gone into the mountains to rescue her half-brother and his friend from Comancheros. Along with the boys, she saves a greenhorn surveyor named Blake. His gibberish confounds her, but in spite of her better judgment, his compassion draws her near. Blake has his hands full surveying a rail line while avoiding renegade Apaches—except for Ket, the most astonishing and bewildering woman he’s ever met. Even in the snow, his blood boils just thinking of her. If it takes the rest of his life, he will tear down the wall that keeps her heart locked up. “Vaughan charts the passage between girl and woman with an authority and delicacy few Western romance writers can match. Keturah’s heart and mind blossom like a rose unfurling one petal at a time.” —Crescent Blues Book Views
