But he has no idea who I really am. Or the trouble he’s causing.
Who ghosted whom?
He left, but I always knew where to find him.
I never even told him my real name.
Now Win Winston is rehabbing an injury in the minor league city where I live. He’s exposed my secret identity to my family and wants to pick up where we left off.
I don’t think so.
So what if I attend every home game—I’m a season ticket holder. And my road trips to games in nearby cities when Win is in the line-up? Coincidence.
I’ve worked too hard to reclaim my place in my family. My sisters need me. I’m still coping with my mother’s death. Dad is pressuring me to marry a man of his choosing. I don’t have the time or energy to cater to Win’s ego. Or his guilty conscience.
Besides, his team could recall him at any moment.
Been there, done that, have the scar to prove it.
I’m shaking him off, but he keeps missing the signs.
(Previously published as Summer Fling, this book is a steamy, full-length stand-alone novel intended for readers 18+.)
MJ Compton grew up near Cardiff, New York, a place best known for its giant—a hoax so successful, P.T. Barnum duplicated it. The tale of the “petrified man” convinced MJ that inventing stories could be a career.
Although her 30 years working in local television included such highlights as being bitten by a lion, preempting a US President for a college basketball game, giving a three-time world champion boxer a few black eyes, and meeting her husband, MJ never lost her dream of creating her own stories.
MJ still lives in upstate New York with her husband. Music and cooking are two of her passions, and she enjoys baseball, college basketball, and sitting on her patio on summer nights to count lightning bugs, but she’s primarily focused on writing.
