Swing and a Kiss: Carolina Waves Series Book 4

Published by: Galsalla Press
Release Date: November 18, 2020

Dale

I never thought I’d fall in love. I was the quintessential player with a lineup of one-night stands. Never any real connections.

Then I met her.

One look at Karen and I felt like I’d taken a fastball to the heart. She was so sexy and real that I knew I was never going back to my old life. No more shallow hookups. She’s the one.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to get her to stop saying no and finally go out with me.

Karen

I had love once—and lost it in a cruel twist of fate. These days, I don’t have the luxury of being frivolous with my time or my heart. I’m a single mom. That’s my priority. Romance is an unnecessary hassle, anyway.

Then I met him.

Dale Montgomery is hotter than Carolina asphalt in July. And he wants me. Crazy, right?

Too bad I gave up on crazy romantic notions long ago.

She already struck out at love once. Can he convince her to take another turn at bat?

Swing and a Kiss is the fourth book in the Carolina Waves sports romance series.

It features a sexy hero, a strong single mom, and off-the-charts-chemistry.

Crazy Love: A Carolina Waves Novella

Published by: Galsalla Press
Release Date: January 13, 2021

He let her go once. He’s not about to make that mistake again…

Abigail

Jimmy Chavez was my first love. Our story was supposed to end in the perfect happily ever after. Instead, he dumped me and left to live out his fantasies as a pro baseball player.

I had no choice but to move on. But I never forgot—and I certainly never forgave.

Now he’s back, annoyingly sexy as ever. He’d better just stay out of my way, because this town is not big enough for the both of us.

Jimmy

My one regret in life is how I handled things with Abigail. She deserved so much better. I had reasons for everything I did, but that doesn’t make it right—and it won’t make her hate me less.

But now that I’m back in town, I’m going to do everything I can to make amends. And if I’m really lucky, I’ll be able to convince her to give me a second chance…

Winning back the love of his life won’t be easy. Good thing Jimmy hasn’t ever been one to back down from a challenge…

Painting the Corners: Carolina Waves Series Book 2

Published by: Galsalla Press
Release Date: February 27, 2021

He pushes people away. But she’s not the type to let anyone push her around…

Trey

I screwed up. I let my issues affect my pro baseball career and nearly lost everything. Getting called up to pitch for the Waves is the ultimate second chance. And I can finally focus on becoming a better…me. Romance is nowhere on my agenda.

But tell that to my heart, which goes crazy every time fate throws a certain pink-haired beauty into my path.

Nori

After our rideshare meet-cute (not), I thought I’d never see Trey again. That was fine with me, because he was just like every rich boy I’d ever met—including my ex-fiancé. Cocky jerks like him have no place in my life.

Forgetting about him would be easier if we didn’t keep running into each other, though. And if he was a lot less sexy…

Together, they’ve got enough emotional baggage to fill a ballpark. Can they overcome it all—or will their happily ever after end in a swing and a miss?

Broken Down in Ballyclare

Published by: Galsalla Press
Release Date: 4/28/21

What happens when the woman who plans everything falls for the guy who lives life one day at a time?

For as long as I can remember I’ve had a plan. Every time I reached a goal, I planned my way to the next and worked to make things happen.

What I didn’t plan was that everything I worked toward would all be swiped away with one conference call. Or that my grandmother, who raised me, would die.

For the first time in my life, I did something spontaneous and hopped on a plane to Ireland. I didn’t have a plan, a place to stay, or even proper clothes. Which felt liberating for a day, but things quickly went downhill.

But it also brought Conor Doherty into my life. The man is the total package…handsome, sexy, sweet, and a damn good kisser. What should have been a vacation fling ended up being something much deeper.

I was happy just spending time with him and going with the flow, then got offered a job that would put my plan right back on track.

So what’s a girl to do?

Foul Pole

Published by: Galsalla Press
Release Date: October 26, 2021

Will their shot at happily ever after be a homerun, or a foul ball? There’s only one way to find out…

Leo

I was living the good life.

Between my pro baseball career, full dating life, and supportive (if somewhat intrusive) family, I had everything I’d ever wanted. Love was not in my master plan.

Then I saw her.

I never believed in love at first sight, but Anjannette Peach made me reconsider. I know she’s The One.

Now I just have to convince her of that. Should be easy for a guy like me, right?

If only…

Anjannette

The last thing I need is a new man in my life.

My pole dance fitness studio keeps me way too busy to worry about romance, anyway. Hell, I don’t even miss sex anymore.

At least I didn’t. Until he showed up.

Leo Marakis is dangerously tempting. I’d love nothing more than to spend hours tangled in sweaty sheets with the sexy ballplayer.

So, what’s holding me back? That’d be my poor, scarred heart.

Not that it really matters. I mean, there’s no way he’s as sincere as he seems…right?

Rain Delay

Published by: Galsalla Press
Release Date: January 23, 2022

Too bad there aren’t any rain delays in the game of love…

Rusty

I’m off my game. Literally. So off, in fact, that I didn’t even make the All-Star team this year. The secluded house my mother’s boyfriend keeps on the Gulf is the perfect place to relax and figure out where it all went wrong. It would’ve worked too…if only the man’s beautiful, hot mess of a daughter hadn’t shown up to make me question everything I thought I ever wanted…

Ivy

I am not lucky. The universe obviously hates me and I need a break from being its punching bag. Packing up my emotional baggage—and my Irish Setter—and making the drive to my dad’s place seemed like a great idea. But instead of finding the house empty, I discovered my father’s girlfriend’s son there…naked in the shower. My plan was to leave but then a hurricane stranded me with the arrogant, sexy ballplayer I can’t seem to keep my hands off and ruined everything…

When the storm clears, will these polar opposites find common ground? Or is their shot at happily ever after nothing but a doomed rainout?

Licking the Batter

Published by: Galsalla Press
Release Date: February 24, 2022

Everyone thinks love at first sight is a fairy tale, until it happens to them…

Phil

I’m a pro baseball player. So, dating was always easy for me. But love? That was another story. With my fortieth birthday approaching, I was starting to think the kind of instalove everyone in my family had lucked into just wasn’t in the cards for me.

Then I saw her.

She caught my heart as easily as she caught my line drive. Was it fate? All I know for sure is I’m now terrified of screwing up the best thing that ever happened to me…

Chloe

Romance was never a priority for me. My job kept me on the road…until it didn’t. Getting downsized made me realize it was time to set down some roots and follow my dream of opening a bakery. And while I set up shop, being a part-time bat girl for the Carolina Waves seemed like a great idea.

Then I saw him.

Suddenly everything I thought I knew about love went out the window. Could he really be my happily ever after? Or am I about to slide head-first into heartbreak?

To a planner like me, spontaneity is scary. Almost as scary as love…

Losing my mom made me realize just how cautious I’d become. So, when the opportunity to take the trip she and I planned came up, I went for it.

That’s how I found myself in England. That’s also where he was.

Bas Middleton is the son of my mom’s best friend. I met him once years ago.

But the nerdy kid with his nose in a comic book is long gone, and in his place is a sweet man who’s so sexy it hurts. Which is why having a hot vacation fling seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Too bad it didn’t take long for both of us to start wanting…more. Eventually, I’ll have to choose between a potential happily ever after with Bas, or a safe, comfortable life back home.

What’s a guarded girl to do when she comes to the ultimate crossroads in her life?

If you figure it out before me, let me know, will you?
