ROOKIE SEASON
by V.K.
Robbins
Talented young ballplayer Clay Love has just been called up from the
minors to play major league baseball. Freelance writer and divorcée Rose
Lasting, the world's biggest baseball fan, wasn't expecting to fall in love
when she fell into Clay's arms, but fall in love she did. Now they are caught
up in a whirlwind romance complicated by the paparazzi, Clay's ex-girlfriend,
Rose's ex-husband, and a stalker who puts Rose's life in grave danger. Saving her
life and catching her attacker takes you on a roller coaster of emotion and
intrigue that you won't soon forget.

V.K. Robbins. This adult erotic romance tale sizzles with romantic and sexual
chemistry, emotion, and suspense. Once you start reading, you won't be able to
put it down.
Excerpt:
He shared about missing his mother's last days because he
had been out on the road with his AA team, and how he regretted it. I thought
about telling him about my grandfather, but I didn't. I knew I would cry and
there was no way I wanted to cry right then. I did tell him, though, about how
my dad left when I was six, and I was raised by my mother and her father, my
grandfather.
And we
talked about baseball - how it was my first love, how he only really felt
comfortable and at home out on the field, how I hadn't missed a Giants home
game in 10 years, how excited he was to finally be playing in the majors.
There was a
pause again and we were silently looking at each other. I was thinking how
comfortable it was just to be quiet with him, how I didn't feel like I needed
to entertain him...when he leaned forward and kissed me.
It was
gentle and tentative at first, then it became more aggressive and forceful. My
mind went blank for a moment. I leaned toward him and he wrapped his arm around
me, pulling me closer. His kiss just pulled me in. Any hesitance I'd had about him evaporated,
and I knew I'd never be the same.
