Draft Pick: Original - Paperback

Crew

Baseball has always been the easy part for me.

Life? Not so much.

Between playing center field for the Atlanta Strikers, running a restaurant, raising my fiercely imaginative daughter, and a recent injury, I'm barely keeping it together. The last thing I need is another obstacle especially one that looks like my daughter's pediatrician.

Dr. Juniper Wilde.

My friends love her. My daughter lights up for her. And me? I think I loved her from the start.

So, I keep her at a distance. Keep things safe. Keep her firmly in the friend zone. Because the last thing Juniper needs is the chaos that comes with me.

Now she's dating other men, building a life that doesn't include me, and I'm stuck on the sidelines, watching her slip away.

The worst part is, she has no idea she's always been mine.

Juniper

Atlanta was supposed to be my fresh start-new job, new life, and no complications.

Then a fiery six-year-old and her ridiculously handsome father walk into my office and turn everything upside down.

Crew Briggs is charming, guarded, and completely off-limits. But somewhere between check-ups and lingering looks, I start wanting more than a friendship.

The problem? Crew already has too much on his plate. So, I do the sensible thing. I take a step back and remind myself of my end goal and decide to date other men.

Because I want my own love story.

Too bad the only man I want is the one who refuses to admit he wants me too.
