Baseball and Other Lessons (Devil's Ranch Book 2) ~ Paperback ~ Aubrey Gross

The hardest lessons are a lot like a line drive to the heart. Texas Wranglers' ace Matt Roberts had it all: fame, fortune, his dream job. Until one line drive to the head ended it. Well, at least that was the case according to Twitter. Needing time to let his fractured skull heal-along with his psyche-Matt heads home to Del Rio, Texas, with one goal in mind-getting back to baseball. Unfortunately a certain redhead keeps driving him to distraction. Seventh grade English teacher Jenn McDonnell is not happy that Matt's come home and is staying with his brother-aka her best friend-while his thick skull heals. And she certainly could do without all the questions their group of friends suddenly has, like, "Why do you hate Matt so much?" Yeah, she totally has no desire to answer that one. Unfortunately for Jenn the questions aren't letting up, and unfortunately for Matt he can't get Jenn off of his mind. Can Jenn put past hurt aside and teach Matt that there's more to life than baseball? Furthermore, can Matt convince Jenn that this relationship isn't doomed to strike out?Author BiographyAubrey has been reading and writing since she was about two and a half and has been an avid romance reader since she read her first romance novel in the 6th grade. She wrote her first novel in high school. It was an imaginative historical romance that involved a cross-country trip via covered wagon, and maybe some Indians. She thinks it's still on a floppy disk somewhere (DOS computer, y'all), but can't be too sure. These days, she writes contemporary romance with a lot of humor and sass and characters that have issues. She graduated from Seton Hill University's Writing Popular Fiction program with a Master of Arts in 2008. When she's not writing, she can be found with her husband and their two dogs at home in Austin, on their ranch in west Texas, watching a football or baseball game, or with her nose stuck in a (usually virtual) book.
