Catching to Win (Over the Fence #3)

I walk over, handing her the little bat and throwing the plastic ball to Owen while eyeing him. “Don’t hit my kid.”
I give her a fist bump as I walk away. Clint lines up behind her with Miles jogging over to first base. Nia steals her daddy’s hat, plopping it on her little head and winding up, getting into an adorable batting stance.
My best friends and I trade smirks, holding each other’s hands like the lifelines they’ve always been.
And then Clint stands, his big booming voice echoing through the empty stadium.
“Let’s play ball!”

Pitching to Win (Over the Fence, Book 1)
What do you do when the town golden boy, who never noticed you in high school, decides to make a play for your heart?
For Minka Braxton, high school has been anything but easy. After a humiliating scandal sophomore year, she's avoided the social scene and anything having to do with boys, especially of the popular variety. But with senior year approaching, Minka decides it's time to take life back into her own hands. That is, until Owen Axel, the type of guy she's always avoided, decides he wants her in his hands.
Owen Axel is the definition of popular. Good looks, all-star worthy pitching arm and a former pro-athlete father make him Mitchum's town God. Returning from college for the summer, his plan is simple. Beach, booz, and beautiful girls. But one look at Minka Braxton and he knows what he wants. He just doesn't count on her not wanting him.
As the summer unfolds, both must decide how much to reveal, how deep they should fall, and what might happen if they strike out.
Hitting to Win (Over the Fence, Book 2)
After a lifetime of neglect and sorrow, Miles Farriston has hit rock bottom after his lying ex-girlfriend proves that no one in his life sticks around. On the outs with his friends, in jeopardy of losing his baseball career and this close to getting kicked out of Kappa Eta Sigma, Miles is forced to compete in the Greek Life dance competition. What he didn't bank on was getting bright, cheery Chloe Trabucco as a partner.
Ballet, friends and her sorority. The only three things Chloe Trabucco wants to focus on and excel at. So when she is asked to compete, as a freshman, in the popular Greek dance competition, she couldn't be happier. That is, until she learns Miles is her partner. The same Miles she's had a huge crush on for half of her life, and the same guy who made it clear months ago that he wants nothing to do with her.
Her positivity and patience annoy him. His attitude and anger finally drive her to the breaking point. Can they hit a home run, both on and off the dance floor, or will they go down swinging?
Acknowledgments
A huge thank you to Nina, whose bossy southern accent gives me the best literary and marketing advice any writer could ever receive. I would be lost without you.
Thank to all of the readers who took this journey with my characters. Writing has always been my dream and brings me such happiness, but knowing other people enjoy my books is what makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
And finally, thank you to my husband. Your continuous back rubbing, food runs and never-ending support get me through when I want to bang my head against the keyboard. I love you.
