Jilted once before, now it's her turn to level the playing field.
Hotshot sports reporter Sage Millan has been busy making a name for herself in the male dominated world of baseball. She's just landed her dream job, and her first assignment is covering the newly crowned World Series champions, The Kingston Crushers. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. The only problem…her ex-boyfriend, and the only man she's ever loved, is the team's second baseman. Things ended badly between them, and she's not sure she can put those demons to rest.
Professional baseball player Nicolas Cordova is having the time of his life. His team has just won the World Series, and with the victory comes more fame, women, and exposure than he ever could have imagined. But things are about to change for the sexy, charismatic athlete. He never expected his ex-girlfriend to walk back into his life, much less the locker room.
These days Sage is smarter, more mature, and doesn't plan on being played a second time. Her appearance stirs old memories for Nic. She's the one he let get away in the name of his career. He vows he can be the man she needs this time around. Will that be enough to mend her broken heart?

Karen’s Thoughts
SLIDING INTO HOME is a delightful, sexy novella about a second chance at love. The Kingston Crushers have just won the World Series and Sage Millan, a sports reporter is scheduled to interview the pitcher. The only problem is Nic Cordova, the second baseman for the team was her longtime boyfriend and she’s nervous about seeing him again.
I found it easy to like and admire Sage. She’s smart and hard working and I can understand her hurt and hesitation to trust Nic. He was once her whole world and he broke her heart. Nic is a nice guy who thought he was making the right decision at the time. When he sees Sage again, he realizes how much he misses her and he wants her back. I love how Nic never gives up trying to win Sage. Nic is a perfect combination of sexy, thoughtful and caring. This is the second book in the Kingston Heat series and is a stand-alone. I loved the story and the characters and was disappointed when the story ended.
