Pitching phenom Bruce "Jilly" Gillette has a hard
time talking to women. His hulking presence of tattoos and muscles is what
makes him an intimidating closer on the mound, yet off the field, he's
painfully shy, uncomfortable in his own skin.
Desperate to revamp his loner image, the New York Kings hold
a dream date contest, granting the lucky winner a night on the town with their
surly reliever, doing whatever it takes to force Jilly out of his comfort zone.
Hailey Halpert enters the contest on a whim, looking for
answers as to why her high school relationship with Jilly hit the skids. Now
she’s a popular romance author writing under a pen name, and her reappearance
in Jilly's life is no accident. It turns out that her novels are all about the
sexy players on the Kings, and Jilly has no clue that he's about to become her
new leading man.

Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid.
Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth
because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated
match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her
book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the
game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's
impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the
philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains
and Manhattan , Collette indulges
her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball
and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When
she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central
Park , satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway
and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her
readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.
She is the author of NIGHT GAMES and GAME CHANGER.
