Off Base

From the author of Near Miss comes another unmissable romance, this time set on the field. Off Base follows Miller, a baseball player and hardened flirt who recently lost his best friend, and Ren who just lost her dream job. Can these two find their way to love themselves, and maybe each other along the way?

He’s trying to find a way out.

She’s trying to find herself.

Miller Colson-Burke has only ever been good at three things: flirting his way out of anything, being the best shortstop in the league, and playing baseball side by side with his best friend, Matt.

Until an accident takes Matt from him forever, leaving him haunted by a memorial banner and a sport he used to love. The only things he’s really interested in being good at now are avoiding the press and figuring out how to run away from a rumour he can’t seem to escape.

Ren Jacobs has spent the last four years building a new life and trying to remember all the reasons to love the person she used to be. But when someone from her past comes along and steals her dream job, she finds it hard to love anything about herself at all.

Just when she doesn’t think it could get any worse, she’s publicly embarrassed at a work event. But like something out of the movies, she’s saved by star shortstop, Miller Colson-Burke. After he comes to Ren’s rescue, a new kind of rumour starts, and Miller realizes that not only could Ren be the answer to all his problems—they might actually have a lot in common. They’re each searching for something, and maybe, they can work together to get it.

But while they’re trying to find their way—they might just find each other.
