Playing Hard (The New York Saints, #4)

She's playing it smart and he'd be a bad, bad idea
Amelia Graham has always been the MVP of good girls. Keeping her head down and playing safe have gotten her all the way to Wall Street and the security she craves. There's no room in her game-plan for bad boys. And New York Saints first baseman Oliver Shields is way too smooth to be anything but bad. His face might be hot enough to melt unwary hearts, but she knows enough about athletes to know they're usually players in more ways than one.
He lives for the game but she's changing the rules
Oliver never takes his eyes off the prize. But when he meets Amelia at a party celebrating the Saints finally making the play offs, he can't help thinking maybe one wild night with her is just what he needs. Pity she's playing hard to get. But when things go horribly wrong and he's facing the end of his career, Amelia is the one who unexpectedly steps up to the plate to help him through even though she's supposed to be focused on winning her dream job. Flirting turns to feelings neither of them are ready to admit, but when faced with goodbye, can they swing for the fences and risk it all for love?
Playing Hard is the fourth book in the New York Saints series, a steamy sports romance series. This series has billionaires, baseball, strong heroines, team drama, the occasional cute pet, and sexy times. Enjoy!
