by Linda CajioIn Linda Cajio's playful, sexy story of instant attraction, a feisty widow and a straight-laced executive discover love is a contact sport. Wearing an expensive suit and an air of bored calm, Graham Reed looks like a fish out of water at the ballpark.

When he shows up at her door, Elaine realizes that the game has just begun. The busy owner of a successful pizza chain, Graham can't get the memory of kissing pretty, down-to-earth Elaine out of his head. But it's clear her teenage son hates him, and his own batting average when it comes to long-term relationships isn't impressive. So is he in or is he out? Only his heart has the answer--and he's putting it all into winning Elaine in a game called love. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: About Last Night, Blaze of Winter, and Lana's Lawman.
