Bring on the Heat (Bad Boys of Baseball #1)
by Katie RoseIn Katie Rose's irresistible battle of wits, a case of mistaken identity lands a female fan in bed with a sexy superstar--and in major-league trouble. House-sitting for a rich and famous friend has its perks, and Darcy Hamel isn't shy about enjoying them. Especially when it means scoring a ticket to an exclusive fashion show hosted by the New Jersey Sonics. An avid baseball fan, Darcy has always dreamed of meeting the team--especially the starting pitcher whose body is as hot as his fastball. But there's a catch. The gala is by invitation only. To get behind the velvet rope, mild-mannered Darcy will have to pose as party girl Lydia Logan. Schmoozing is one of the downsides of fame, but Chase Westbrook knows how to liven up even the dullest event. And nothing spices a night up more than a beautiful socialite with a naughty reputation. What Chase doesn't expect is a hint of sweetness beneath her sultry façade. Flirtation turns to seduction and leaves him aching for more. Chase just doesn't know who the real Lydia is: the spoiled tease crying foul over some missing diamonds or the alluring woman making a play for his heart.Praise for Katie Rose and Bring on the Heat "The plot is believable, and, by the way, this story sizzles! Lots of hot yumminess to brighten any summer night."--Library Journal"Charming, sexy, and smart, Katie Rose's Boys of Summer series will make you wish it went into extra innings!"--USA Today bestselling author Lauren Layne"Chase is my kind of sports hero: dedicated, determined, and dangerously desirable!"--Wendy S.

I loved it."--Libby's Fun Books"Bring on the Heat was a fun, quick read that has just enough baseball to keep it in the genre, but not so much that you lose readers who don't live and breathe sports!"--Two Moms Reading "Bring on the Heat is one of those stories that I enjoyed very much: a heroine who is mistaken for her high-profile employer, a major-league pitcher on the brink of superstardom, and too much publicity for them both, leading to all kinds of interesting issues."--Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews "Bring on the Heat was, quite possibly, the cutest end-of-summer book. It was a super quick, light read with adorable characters. And, I might add, it has baseball players. Hello!"--Crystal Blogs Books "Humor is an essential part of the book. . . . Even if you aren't a baseball fan, it's a fun read."--Tangled Hearts and Boxer Briefs "A cotton candy summer sports-themed romance, great for a beach read."--The Naughty Librarians Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from other Loveswept titles.

After the horrors of Vietnam, for Larry Yoder, the study of theology made the world make sense again. Until his work as a Pastor took him to Belle Glade, Florida. A town built on dark secrets, and run by an old boy network bent on keeping them buried. Two qualities that made Yoder's devotion to faith and honesty dangerous. And although you won't hear it from the local cops, maybe had something to do with his sudden disappearence. Except, Yoder knows a few people whose loyalty lies outside Belle Glade's channels of power. Like Ted Hickman. Long ago, as a special forces commander in Vietnam, Hickman made a pledge to defend Yoder's life at any cost. So when Hickman gets the call that Yoder is missing, it doesn't take much convincing to get him and some of the old Vietnam "A" team on the first plane to Belle Glade. A place, located dead in the center of the Florida Everglades, where men with skills honed in the jungles of Southeast Asia might prove useful in getting some answers...
