About this ebook

Trevor Shay has it all—a successful football and baseball career, and any woman he wants. But when he finds out his college mentor’s daughter is in trouble, he drops everything to come to her aid.
 
Haven Briscoe has finally landed a dream job as a sportscaster for a major network. But she hasn’t been able to move past the recent death of her beloved father, and it’s affecting her career. A plum assignment following the daily life of sports superstar Trevor Shay might be just the inspiration she needs…
 
Trevor will do anything to spark life back into Haven, including letting her into every aspect of his world. The chemistry between them flames higher than one of Trevor’s home runs and faster than his dashes to the end zone. But as they grow closer, Haven stumbles onto Trevor’s closely guarded secret, one he’s hidden his entire life. And despite his protests, now it’s Haven’s turn to put everything on hold to help Trevor. Will he let her in and trust her with a secret that could blow his professional and personal world apart? 

Ratings and reviews

I was actually quite impressed with Straddling the Line. For all the sports fans you get some yummy fantasy and for non sports fans its still just as hot and not overwhelming at all. I really liked the childhood crush hook being instilled in the beginning and woven through the entire story. It really brings the reader into the characters emotional ties and gives them a history that they can really appreciate. Its not common to find that in books these days and I really liked that. The love scenes on top of the character interaction is so out of this world its mind blowing. Every book Jaci writes just gets better and better every time. I really enjoyed reading this book from the first line all the way to the last.

Intrigued but can't wait to read
