Fastball Flirt (The Boys of Summer Series Book 1)
Page 27
It’s a good thing I’m still in my underwear because I think I need a change of panties anyway. I dart into my closet and grab the first items I see. Unfortunately, I’m left with the slutty black skirt and my gray long-sleeve crop top with black ankle boots. It’s comfy and cute though a little too dressy for a road trip, but I don’t have time to change.
I ease open the door, but Chase isn’t right outside my bedroom anymore, thank God. I don’t need him to be this close to my bed. I may pounce him and I don’t need any more embarrassment for today.
I grab my bag and head down the hall. He’s in my kitchen drinking a glass of water. Sure, make yourself at home. “I preferred the last outfit.”
My face heats and I drop my head back. Lord, strike me dead. “Let’s never bring this up again.” He’s a gentleman, taking my bag from me and leading me out the door with his other hand resting on the small of my back.
“Oh, I’m going to bring it up again. With you, alone…” He whispers the promise in my ear and goosebumps pebble on my skin. This will be one hellish car ride.

More from Kelsey
Filthy Forward
Cocky. Filthy. Player.
Tatum Trevino waltzed into my life like he owned it. The renowned soccer star showed up as my new coach and changed everything.
Until rumors started flying about the bad boy prodigy kicked off his team. I thought he was nothing but another cocky playboy, but there was another side to him under the facade.
Late training sessions, secret getaways, and a delicious sleeve of tattoos led to temptation. We kept our relationship private, but I wasn’t the only secret he was keeping.
And it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
Selfless
I lost my first love at twenty years old.
Then I was forced to drop out of school
to become a single mom.
I didn’t think I’d ever find love again.
I didn’t want to replace my first.
I didn’t want to erase his memory.
But love isn’t convenient and it’s never easy.
I fought our attraction. I pushed him away.
But my heart fought harder.
I have to decide what’s best not only for me,
but also for my daughter.
Even if that means losing everything.
Fearless
It all started with a bet…
I told Olivia Hart that if she won, I’d leave her alone for good. Little did she know, I was never going to let that happen. She thinks I hate her, but she couldn’t be more wrong.
I keep raising the stakes, making wagers and tricking her into spending time with me.
The more we're together, the harder she falls.
But once she learns the truth, all bets are off.
Reckless
I wasn't made to fall in love.
I was drawn to drugs and alcohol the way people were drawn to relationships. I craved them. Yearned for them. Depended on them.
Men were fun for one night at a time, no long term.
Until him.
His hazel eyes bore into my soul and see through my tough exterior. His pain mirrored mine even though he was ten years older than me with a vastly different life.
He taught me who I am, helped me discover long-buried secrets, and ultimately heal from the wreckage.
But that was his job. I paid him to fix me, but I never expected him to fix my heart.
Liam Whitmore is more than my therapist. He's my savior. The one man I can depend on...as long as our relationship doesn't go up in flames.
Chasing Red
My entire life has revolved around one goal: get into medical school. When it happens I should celebrate with champagne and streamers and a bouncy castle-right?
Instead, my heart feels like it's being ripped in two-follow my dreams or follow my heart? I can thank Chase Westbrook for that.
He's my brother's best friend. He also happens to be what wet dreams are made of. He's absolutely perfect and he's in love with me-he's also incredibly persistent. He's busy chasing me while I'm focused on chasing my dreams.
I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too. I won't ask him to wait for me, but I hope he does anyway. I can't let anything distract me or get in the way of my goals-and his blond hair, blue eyes, and washboard abs would be a major distraction.
He tells me he loves me, so I push him away in grandiose fashion. But Chase Westbrook isn't a quitter, and if he keeps chasing me I'm going to get caught.
My Almost
Not every story has a happy ending, but every story needs to be told.
When Chelsea meets Aiden Venturi, she hates him. He's a cocky, conceited jerk with bedroom eyes who always seems to get what he wants.
So what is it about his arrogant demeanor that makes her go crazy?
Aiden is a man who says all the right things and makes promises he can't keep.
Chelsea falls for it.
When a relationship burns this fast and bright, will the flame diminish just as quickly?
People say don't sleep with your boss. Now she knows why.
Betrayed
How well can you really know someone?
Best friends Kennedy, Sage, Lexi, and Caroline seem to have it all. Perfect families. Perfect jobs. Perfect lives.
They were untouchable. Nobody thought anything could go wrong. Until it did.
When Sage is betrayed by two people she trusts most, they realize they don't really know each other at all.
Their lives rapidly decline into a tangled web of lies, adultery, betrayal, and murder.
Sometimes perfection isn't always what it seems.
Burned
Find out how the story ends for Kennedy, Sage, Caroline, and Lexi in this follow up novella to Betrayed.
The story ends with an even more shocking twist you won’t see coming.
