Cedar Hollow Comets 1 - Sliding Into Something Real: A Cedar Hollow Comets Sports Romance

He doesn't do interviews. She doesn't do losing. When star pitcher Jake Torres gets traded to the Cedar Hollow Comets — the small-town team's biggest rival for years — the whole town is ready to hate him. PR manager Maya Chen has three weeks to turn baseball's most notoriously guarded player into someone this struggling franchise can actually rally behind, whether he likes it or not. Jake doesn't do press, doesn't do fans, and definitely doesn't do falling for the one person paid to fix his public image. But Maya is the first person in years who sees past his careful walls to what's actually underneath — and she refuses to let him hide. As the season builds toward a rivalry game that could define both their futures, Jake and Maya have to decide whether what's growing between them is worth the risk — to his career, to her job, and to a fragile trust neither of them expected to find. Sliding Into Something Real is Book 1 in the Cedar Hollow Comets series — small-town sports romance full of slow-burn tension, found family, and a love worth fighting for.
