Mac has one more year of baseball eligibility left. One more year to show the major league scouts that he’s worth it. That he’s good enough to play professional baseball for them. He’s not sure that he is. So far, not a single scout has approached him. There are no agents banging down his door, hoping to represent him; no emails, no phone calls, no messages through Coach Jackson. No, nothing.

The company I worked for had been bought by who I later found out was my best friend's ex. That was one crazy story. He ended up being a retired Pittsburgh Pirate. I was just as shocked when I found out. He'd gotten three of his ball playing friends to agree to do some promotion for the company for practically nothing. I was going to be the one to get them everything they needed while they were there. Out of the three of them, I was sure there would be at least one sexy man that would have the need to release some stress, and I was all for helping him. You see, I didn't do love or ...

It had been ten long years since Scott Reid, the man I thought would always protect and love me, had torn my heart apart. I'd watched from the sidelines during those years as he played ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates. When he came home, I applied for jobs in every state but Michigan. I needed to get away from everything that had to do with him. When I was offered a job at a sports equipment company in Pennsylvania, I jumped at it. He wasn't there anymore. I knew it was a good place to go. Working with numbers was my thing. I loved it. Working with anything sports related and numbers was ...

I was getting ready to turn eighteen and was looking forward to starting my senior year of high school. They say senior year is the best, but I wasn't so sure. Lance Smith, a retired Pittsburgh Pirate, was the most overprotective man I'd ever met. He was also my dad. I was Sammie, his little tomboy baseball player. That was the only way he'd ever see me. My bedroom walls were still covered with scenes he'd painted before I was even born. A picture of him still hung on my wall. The words date, boyfriend, and college all sent him into a crazy speech about his little girl not growing up. He ...

My life was perfect. I had a husband that loved me and three amazing children. We had two homes, a gorgeous lakehouse up north, and a beautiful, two-story home, in a wealthy neighborhood, closer to the company my husband owned. I spent my summers up north with the kids and our nanny, while my husband was only able to join us on the weekends. When the weather would start to cool, he'd come up, and we'd drive home together for the winter. I had the best of both worlds, or at least I thought I did. That winter was different. The weather cooled, but he wasn't able to come, and I didn't want to ...

When I told my parents during my senior year that I wasn't going to college, they lost their minds. There was only one person that stood beside me, and that was my sister Sammie. I'd been working with computers since I was ten. Everyone laughed and joked about how much time I spent in my room. They had no idea that I'd been working on something great. Sammie listened when I told her I already knew more than I'd learn in college. She believed me when I told her what I was working on would make a difference, and she defended me every step of the way. I had big dreams, and nothing was going to...
