    About this ebook

    Recently dumped by one of baseball’s biggest names, Alyssa Reid has struck out in love once again. During one of the harshest Manhattan winters on record, she's suddenly alone in a new city, with only a job with the Centers for Disease Control and a partially furnished eighth floor walk-up to keep her warm. While her ex may have turned her life upside down, it isn't until a twist of fate causes Alex Whitfield, her ex-boyfriend’s best friend and teammate, to move into her spare bedroom that she’ll see what it’s like to really be thrown a major league curveball.

    While Alyssa knows better than to get romantically involved with a man reputed for breaking hearts as efficiently and effectively as he strikes out opposing batters, there’s something utterly irresistible about him. ...It might be that Alex calls her every evening he's on the road to say goodnight, it could be the way his southern drawl leaves her hanging on his every word, but likely it's seeing the body that landed him on the cover of GQ routinely wandering her hall wrapped in only a towel. Although their relationship is ostensibly platonic -- Alex staunchly refusing to admit he thinks of her as anything more than the annoying little sister he never had -- a full year after he moves out, he sets his sights on the one girl in New York who could, with one wink of her perfectly curled eyelashes, have him throwing away his little black book. And in love as in baseball, he has no intention losing.

    Devina Douglas

    While Devina may have graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in microbiology, she started writing several years ago when working the graveyard shift at her first job out of college afforded her the luxury of writing. With little else to do but stare blankly at the computer screen, a short email telling a friend about the previous evening’s World Series game and her new favorite baseball player slowly unfurled into a 300-something page novel. That one novel launched both her writing career and a love of baseball. Since then she has completed four contemporary romance novels: What a Catch, Pitcher Perfect, It Won’t Be Like This For Long (a quarterfinalist for Amazon’s 2009 Breakthrough Novel Award,) and, most recently, All The Little Pieces. She has been a member of the RWA since 2009 and has been active in the San Francisco Area chapter, judging several contests. She grew up in Half Moon Bay, California, and since college has also lived in Massachusetts and Oregon. Currently, she splits time between San Francisco and California’s Central Coast with her husband, Matt and flat-coated retriever, Burton. When she’s not writing, however, she enjoys rooting for her beloved Yankees, taking her dog to the beach and sailing.
