Bases Loaded: A Small-Town Baseball Romance (The Stillwell Sliders Series)

A Small-Town Baseball Romance

Book One of The Stillwell Sliders Series

Harper Callahan came home to Stillwell, Texas to rebuild her life.
Not to find a six-foot-one MLB pitcher nearly naked in her grandmother’s guest house.

After her superstar-shortstop husband’s very public betrayal, Harper is done with baseball players. Done with ego. Done with sacrificing herself for someone else’s career while her own dreams collect dust in the background.

Then Austin Lexington shows up.

Austin is baseball royalty. A former Rookie of the Year with a filthy slider, a rehab assignment he definitely doesn’t want, and exactly zero interest in small-town Texas. Six weeks with the Stillwell Sliders is supposed to help him rebuild his arm and get back to the big leagues. That’s it.

Instead, he gets Harper.
Sharp-tongued. Guarded. Impossible to ignore.

Living under the same roof was never part of the plan. Neither were the late-night conversations, stolen glances across the kitchen, surprise breakfasts, or the way Harper starts seeing the man underneath the headlines.

But Austin’s return to baseball has an expiration date.
And Harper knows better than anyone what happens when loving a baseball player costs you everything.

Because six weeks in Stillwell was always temporary, and falling for each other wasn’t supposed to happen at all.
