Scoring With Him
Page 27
Not today.
The left fielder throws to Crosby at third. I rip off my mask as Crosby relays it my way. The ball is coming in hard, careening near the plate. I step into the base path to field it. The runner barrels toward home, mere feet away, but I scoop up the ball into my glove, ready to lay a tag on the runner when—
Boom!
The runner steamrolls into me.
And as the air rushes from my lungs, all the pain, all the hurt, all the anger comes roaring back while my brain replays Declan’s text to me from late last night.

Declan: This is killing me, Grant. You have to know. But making plans was a mistake. We can’t do this. Any of this, including November. Miami is a bad idea.
* * *
I grit my teeth, try to soften the blow, but I hit the dirt with a deafening thunk.
The pain radiates everywhere and my world starts to dim…

Grant and Declan’s epic love story continues in WINNING WITH HIM, the next book in the Men of Summer series, available everywhere.
