The Baller: The Manhandled Series, Book Two

I am not a famous person, but I have been called a king maker. I own the most important talent agency in the world. Music is my life, and no one knows the industry better than I do.

But I’m also a Townsend and the Townsends made their money off of the city of Los Angeles itself, which is why I’ve also inherited the ownership of a Major League Baseball team—The L.A. Flames.

But the team isn’t what I’m known for. I’m best known for one thing, and one thing only: I manage Gideon York, the most famous pop star in the world. He’s also my ex who is recently married and happier than I’ve ever seen him, and I’m sinking. Drowning in loneliness and misery and alcohol.

So when the Flames rookie closing pitcher Adam Haas recognizes me from rehab, I’m quick to shut him down, until I realize he’s one of the only people in the world who knows the real me. Beautiful and vibrant and fighting for his sobriety, Adam enraptures me from day one. But am I making the same mistake I made with Gideon all those years ago? Falling for someone too young for me? Too beautiful? Too promising? Too quickly, my heart wants too much, and my body demands even more.

Once again I find myself head over heels for a man I can’t possibly have, and once again I have to hide my love, my heart, my weaknesses behind a wall not even a 108-mile per hour fast ball can penetrate.
