Called Out

Jack “Ox” Oxford is used to being alone. Granted, when you screw over your
friends, being alone isn’t always a choice. Playing for the Chicago Watchmen is a
last-ditch effort to save his career...and right some of his past wrongs. He’s not
expecting a warm reception, but he’s also not expecting a flat tire to change
everything. Recovering control freak, single mom and semiprofessional chaos wrangler
Lola Deacon McIntire doesn’t need an arrogant ballplayer to swoop in and save her from
anything, much less her flat tire. And she definitely doesn’t need her body to betray
her and decide this is the guy to wake up her rusty libido. She isn’t about to upset her
sons’ lives for any man—much less one who so clearly doesn’t think he’s dad material.
Jack never thought he’d find someone who wanted to build a life with him, but the more
time he spends with Lola and her boys, the more it starts to feel permanent. Even
tough-as-nails Lola concedes there just might be a future here—the big, beautiful, messy
future neither of them was looking for—but only if Jack will accept he deserves it.
