Batting Cleanup (Tag & Skye Part 3)

By MJ COMPTON

Baseball may be the only place in life where a sacrifice is really appreciated, but catcher Tag Gentry never expected Skye Schuyler to risk everything for him.

A reporter's lies have ruined Skye's reputation, yet she refuses to reveal the truth about Tag's career-ending injuries. She loves him too much to betray his secret. The best thing she can do for him is leave the game.

Easier said than done.

Tag didn't earn his Gold Glove by letting pitchers shake him off, and the now-elusive Skye is no different. Except someone is out to destroy her and the only way to stop them is to expose his vulnerabilities to the world.

But will his confession come too late?
