BLURB
The first time I met Benson LaCroix, he sat in a bar wearing “cocky player” like a cheap cologne.
The second time, he stood in a locker room in nothing but a jockstrap and a scowl.
Apparently, the Miami Storm’s star pitcher isn’t too thrilled his new boss is the woman who turned him down.
That makes two of us.
I never asked to inherit my father’s baseball team. It’s the one thing I despised more than him.
I’m just here to sell, sign on the dotted line, and get out.
Until I’m hit with Dad’s final parting gift—a buyer’s clause.
Enter Satan—otherwise known as my ex.
I should swallow my pride and just accept his offer. Instead, I tell him where to shove it.
It can’t be that hard to turn the major league’s biggest joke into a winning team.
Right?
With only four weeks to do the impossible, I’ll need more than a miracle.
I’ll need a secret weapon. Someone ruthless enough to marry me for my money.
Like a playboy pitcher with a wicked curveball.
Two quickie vows and one hostile truce later, and it’s game on.
Ben and I can do this.
I just have to keep my eye on his balls.
I mean the ball. The prize.
Oh hell. We’re in trouble.

MY REVIEW
Benson (Ben) is not used to women rejecting his smirky, charming flirting. So when a gorgeous woman in a bar turns him down, it throws him off his game. Then to his horror, that same gorgeous woman turns out to be his new boss, the new owner of his baseball team. The new boss who is now in charge of his and his teammates' futures. It's too bad he pissed her off as soon as he opened his mouth during their second meeting. Will he have the chance to make things right?
Willow needs Ben, though, so when she comes to him with a proposition, he isn't one to say no. Now the only problem the two will face is keeping what is fake from becoming real and breaking both their hearts. She's got secrets. He's got his own baggage, so on paper it shouldn't be hard for them to resist each other. If only that were the case though...
Ben and Willow are a snarky, witty, HOT couple and their journey from fake to very, very real was a bit of a rollercoaster. I loved reading as the cocky playboy with a vulnerable side he only showed her was brought to his knees by a quirky, teal haired dynamo who had her own form of vulnerability. This is a very worthy addition to Vi and Penelope's Cocky Hero Club.
