Book excerpt: I’ve been in love with my best friend’s twin sister since we were all sixteen years old. After Julia took my virginity in college as a favor to me, I should have asked her to be mine. I lost my nerve, and I will regret that day for the rest of my life. Because it was the same day she met her fiance, Kyle. As the second baseman for the Baltimore Bay Birds, I’m no longer that shy kid from college. I have no problem getting women into my bed, but none of them compared to Julia. It still crushes my heart to pieces every time I see her, but at least it’s only a few times a year. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of her, but I’ve learned to survive. That is, until the day she walked onto the field at the ballpark to surprise me with her exciting news. Guess who’s the new head groundskeeper for Old Bay Stadium?
