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 don't want to play anymore." Those six words coming out of James' mouth stopped the world around us. They were the most powerful words I'd heard since "It was all a mistake." He was really beginning to have a knack with changing lives one sentence at a time. Both of our dads began asking questions. Then they started telling him how wrong he was. They knew exactly what he needed, time. The more they told him, the more irritated I got. While I thought James was crazy, I totally understood where he was coming from and what he was about to go through. My dad was much worse than his. He was ...

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 ...

Rachel was away for her first year in college. She had remained a virgin all through high school and was tired of waiting for the right one to come along. Brad was her best friend's brother and two years ahead of her in school. He was tall, muscular, and extremely sexy. Rachel had a huge crush on Brad when she was younger. He was the one who kissed her for the very first time. When she went to high school, she saw a side of...

When I heard James say that he loved me, I couldn't believe my ears. I wanted it to be true. I was also so afraid that I'd wake up to hear that it had all been a mistake again. That was the second best night of my life. We were really going to be together. I wanted every second with him I could get. He was going to be on the road again, and I was so busy with school. When I'd asked him if we could wait to tell our parents, he didn't want to do it, but he'd agreed to wait until I had my apartment and we were free to do as we pleased. That day came and went, but I still wasn't ready. Why ...

It had been a year since I'd come back to the one place I'd run from so long ago, and I'd managed to fly under the radar the whole time. It was just Noah and me. He was perfect. I'd brought him back so I could raise him where I'd grown up, a place I was familiar with. I'd also hoped to fix my very broken relationship with my parents. They cut me off the day they found out that I was pregnant, and things hadn't been the same between us since. That was definitely going to take some time, there was no doubt in my mind. When Noah asked me to go the Valentine's Day Dance at his school with him, ...

Pregnant! How could that be? We'd been together once. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life, even better than I'd ever dreamt it could be, and I'd dreamt about it so many times, but it was only once. For the second time in my life, I found myself in a position that I never thought I would be in, only things were different. Sawyer was different. He didn't want kids. He never had, and that was no secret. He was also a player, and he always would be, so when I told him I was pregnant, I wasn't surprised by his response. It was my kids and me, and I was going to give them the best ...

My senior year definitely had some ups and downs. I'd gone to my prom, but it hadn't worked out exactly like I thought it would. It was even better. My dream had come true. I'd finally gotten that second kiss from my best friend, after he'd saved me from my creepy date of course. That kiss led to the most amazing night of my life. Everything was perfect. At least I thought it was. Then I woke up the following morning and everything changed. It was all a mistake. He'd never know just how much those few words changed my life. I was going off to college, and I was looking forward to every ...

I'd had one night with that baseball player. It was one crazy, drunken mistake. I was right about one thing, he didn't make it easy on me. The man drove me crazy. Just when I thought I was rid of the hot, sexy Pittsburgh Pirate, he'd appeared again at a party. My best friend Carrie thought the party was to thank everyone at the company for all of our hard work. She had no idea that the love of her life and owner of the company was going to propose to her. It was something I wasn't missing for the world. That was my plan anyway. That was until that darn ballplayer threw me over his shoulder ...

Warning: This story contains content which is intended for readers over the age of 18. Rachel left for school before Brad had a chance to see her. She couldn't face him after their hot encounter the night before. If she got away from him, she knew she would be able to get back to normal and forget about what they had done. That was exactly what she needed. Brad had other plans. He began to call and text her each night, and she found herself looking forward to their talks. How was she going to get him out her mind if they kept talking and flirting with each other? Was he playing games with ...

Warning: This story contains content which is intended for readers over the age of 18. Rachel made it through Christmas and was back at school without either family finding out about her relationship with Brad. It would be three months before she could see him again. She had no idea how she was going to wait that long. Brad continued to call and text her each day. They couldn't wait to see each other again. When something happened that would change her life forever, how did Rachel handle it? She knew that pushing Brad away was the right thing to do for everyone. It was time for her to think...

There was something about the woman that sat next to me in the hotel bar. She was beautiful in her t-shirt and jeans, and she didn't seem to notice that everyone around us was dressed to impress. When she touched my arm and I felt an unfamiliar zap, I felt the need to suddenly pull away. Minutes turned into hours while we talked, and I couldn't help but want to learn more about her. When we stepped into the elevator, we realized our rooms were on the same floor. We were right next to each other. I watched her hips move beneath the tight denim covering her curves as she walked ahead of me. ...

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 ...

Things weren't going exactly as I'd planned. I was still following my three rules. Don't get close, never fall in love, and always have fun. It was just getting a bit harder to follow them. I'd had plenty of fun with the ballplayer, but it needed to stop. My life was changing, and it was time for me to come to terms with a few things. There would be no more having fun for us. I would not be having fun with anyone. Too many things were happening, and I needed time to think. I was pregnant. It happened the very first time we were together. When I say very first time, I mean the day we met. ...

Two weeks, that was how long he gave me to decide. I could go home, and everything would go back to normal, whatever that was, or I could suffer the consequences of not returning. My heart was filled with disgust and hurt, as I drove away from him and back toward the safety of my brother's house. Who was that man? Had he been that way when I'd married him? If so, how had I missed it? I wasn't going back, there was no way. I just had to figure out what it was that I was going to do. Those two weeks flew by, and just as promised, there were consequences, the kind that would change my life ...

Things were finally looking up. Sawyer had come to my rescue when I'd needed it most. We were getting along better than ever before. I'd even finished my last college class. Everything was perfect, and nothing was going to stand in my way. Then they showed up, my son's grandparents, and my world exploded around me. They were going to fight for custody, and it was all because of him, the one man that I couldn't seem to walk away from, no matter how hard I tried. I would pick my son. There was no other choice for me. My kids would always come first. It was us against the world. I just had to ...

When they announced the sale of our company at a meeting, I had no idea what I was going to do. I'd moved my entire life for that job. I had a lease on an apartment and was two states away from my family. I didn't want to have to move back home, not with him there. The very next day they called another meeting. I couldn't imagine what they had to say could have been any worse than the meeting before. It was bad enough that I'd gotten drunk for the first time in three years after the first meeting. I'd barely been able to get my ass to work the next day and looked awful. My best friend, ...

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...

We made it through the trip. It wasn't easy though. You remember me saying I'd be rid of him, right? It didn't happen. I don't care what I did, he was still there. For one reason or another, he was there. My best friend and his friend decided to get married. They called to let us know. Of course they couldn't make it easy. We had to be there the next morning. Ugh! Talk about notice. We made it in time for the wedding. It only made sense to drive together. I ended up so glad we did. Something happened and I'd gotten sick. The man had to make things even more difficult for me. He took care of...

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 ...
