Curveball
by Kate Angell

The bad boys of baseball, they are the top power hitters of the Richmond Rogues, and the team's best hope for a shot at the World Series. But when all three have to be benched for brawling, it's the beginning of a whole new ball game, and the opposing team could win something more than a trophy—these ladies are after their hearts.

At the top of the ninth, with the bases loaded, each man realizes that happiness is just within reach, even when love throws a—Curveball.

Kate Angell's Bio

It took me 20 years to get published. I wrote every genre from futuristics, historicals, to category romance. Not until I attempted romantic comedy did I finally make a sale. I will always be grateful to Alicia Condon at Dorchester Publishing for buying my book.

I live in Naples, Florida. I'm single. A morning person. I enjoy brunch. I'm an animal lover and avid reader. I laugh a lot. My favorite color is purple. I can read Tarot Cards. My favorite plant is the Elephant Ear. I buy myself a fresh bouquet of flowers each week. I enjoy going to the movies. Can make popcorn a meal. Love Starbucks. Spend hours at book stores. I like Saturday morning cartoons. Have a collection of snow globes. Chew bubble gum. Drink chocolate milk. I have a younger brother named Paul. I've had the same best friend for thirty years, her name is Debbie. I find the Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz both bizarre and fascinating, as does my friend Sue-Ellen. Ben & Jerry's Phish Food is the best ice cream on the planet. Fiji is my favorite bottled water. I buy antique jewelry. Snuggle under feather comforters. Watch General Hospital. Disneyworld warms my heart. I hate alarm clocks and road construction. I read romance novels and also enjoy books by Stuart Woods.

I truly appreciate and admire positive-minded people. Drivers who swerve to avoid animals in the roadway. Sales clerks who are still smiling five minutes before the store closes. Waitresses who offer me dessert, even after a big meal. People who are always honest. Men who reach over my shoulder and catch a door, even when I'm capable of opening it myself. People who practice patience. Those who give second chances.

My philosophy: Out of chaos comes calmness. Silence is often the best answer.
