⚾️ EXCERPT REVEAL ⚾️
𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, the first book in the VEGAS HEAT: BASES LOADED series by Lisa Suzanne is coming March 7th!!!
Take a peek inside…
EXCERPT:
I
glance around the room unsure of where to go next that Cooper Noah walks up to
me.
Cooper.
Freaking. Noah.
In
all his gorgeous glory.
“Cooper
Noah,” he says, and he offers a hand for me to shake. “Are you here to sing?”
I
smile and nod. “I’ve been asked to do a song to open for Vail, and I’ll also be
singing the national anthem.”
“Incredible.
Thanks for being here to support us today.”
I
pull on my professional hat—the mask I always wear in public. “I’m so pleased
the team asked. I’m happy to be here to cheer for the home team.” I offer
another smile, and I’m trying my hardest to appear genuine. I am being genuine, but all these hot
baseball players are throwing me off my game a little.
“Are
you a local?” he asks, and the small talk is actually making me feel more
comfortable.
I
nod. “I grew up in Henderson and still have family here, though I’m based out
of Los Angeles now. And sometimes New York.” I always say I still have family
here, though the truth is they’re cousins I haven’t seen in years.
“My
buddy Danny is dying to meet you.”
Danny?
I
giggle a little nervously.
Does
he mean Danny Brewer? The man who gave me tingles just looking over at him when good ol’ Brooks here has never been able
to pulse a single tiny little tingle in me…ever?
“I’d
love to meet Danny.”
Cooper
turns to head toward the table he got up from when I walked in, and I follow
him. Danny’s focused on his card game until Cooper grunts out his last name.
“Brewer.”
Danny
looks up at Cooper, and then he sets his cards down and stands as his eyes move
over to me.
He’s
tall—I think I read somewhere that he’s six feet, four inches.
I’m
five feet, five inches. He’s nearly an entire foot taller than me, though I’m
in four-inch heels to give me a lift. He still towers over me, and my God is he
attractive in person.
“I’d
like to introduce you to Alexis Bodega,” Cooper says.
Our
eyes meet for the first time, and something changes inside me.
A
trance holds my eyes up to his as his hand comes up and I politely place mine
there. Heat blazes between us at the place where our hands meet, and tingles
race up and down my spine and around through my chest.
It’s
positively electric.
And
the single word that comes to mind is regret.
Regret
that I chose to live my life the way I did when I was a mere sixteen years old.
Regret
that I’m stuck playing a role that isn’t the one I want to play anymore.
Regret
that I have to stand here and pretend like my insides aren’t quivering as I
stare at this man I’ve drooled over as I watched him play for the Rockies for a
number of years.
Brooks
presses his hand a little more firmly into my back as if to remind me of his
presence.
I
haven’t forgotten. I never forget. I’m not allowed to.
And
so I dredge up the skills my father paid a pretty penny for when I snagged my
drama degree from New York University—the university my father urged me to
attend because it has produced more Academy Award winners than any other
university.
“Lovely
to meet you,” I say, and my voice seems to snap the trance between us.
The
heat cools as I pull my hand back from his.
“And
you,” he says quietly. He doesn’t strike me as a quiet kind of guy. Nothing
about his presence has ever been quiet, actually. He’s baseball’s bad boy. He’s
a partier and a womanizer. He hasn’t been reduced to quiet a day in his life.
I
clear my throat a little awkwardly. “Good luck today. I’m a huge fan.”
His
brows shoot up in surprise. “Feeling’s mutual.”
“Brewer,
you’re up,” Rush grunts from the table where the men were playing cards.
Danny
shakes his head a little as he seems to snap himself out of wherever he just
went. “Good luck to you out there, too.”
“Thanks,”
I murmur as he sits back down.
The
spell is broken, but one truth holds firm.
I’d
like to see a whole lot more of Danny Brewer.

BLURB:
I wasn’t looking to change my “bad boy of baseball” reputation. At least not until my dream girl, Pop Princess Alexis Bodega, stepped foot in my clubhouse to sing for the stadium on opening day.
There’s just one problem, and it’s a big one. Her manager is also her boyfriend, and her father is her agent.
She’s kept on a tight leash with her incredibly busy schedule, and I’m at the start of a new baseball season with a new team.
It’s the worst time to explore this attraction with the wrong girl, but that doesn’t stop me from fighting my way backstage at her surprise performance in Vegas and slipping her my number.
I quickly discover that nothing is what it seems where her manager is concerned. The more I learn about America’s Sweetheart, the more I realize what the world knows of her is the carefully crafted façade of her brand…not the woman behind it all. But I’m getting to know the real Alexis, and I’m falling hard and fast for her.
Her father might be the one holding the ball, but I’m in a scoring position, and I won’t let anything stop me from getting the win.
SCORING POSITION is the first book in the VEGAS HEAT: BASES LOADED series. This series must be read in order.
