Synopsis:
He’s the star athlete who thrives on chaos. She’s the determined lawyer-in-training who craves order. They share a wall, a grudge, and absolutely no common ground… or so they think.
Tahlia Carter has one goal—pass the bar exam and launch her legal career. Living in a luxury condo was supposed to mean peace and quiet, the perfect environment to study. Instead, she’s stuck next door to Jake Reynolds, the Tennessee Terrors’ infuriatingly charming centerfielder who treats every night like a personal afterparty. The walls are thin, and so is her patience.
After one too many sleepless nights, Tahlia reaches her breaking point and confronts her loud, cocky neighbor. But instead of backing down, Jake doubles down—teasing her, tempting her, and challenging every rule she’s set for herself. When an unexpected act of chivalry turns into an impulsive invitation to his next game, Tahlia shocks them both by accepting.
What starts as a reluctant truce quickly spirals into something neither of them can ignore. The attraction is undeniable, the tension unbearable, and soon, their battles move from the walls between them to the spaces much closer.
She’s playing it safe. He’s playing to win. But when the game is love, will either of them follow the rules?
Legal Catch is the fourth book in a series with ten amazing authors about the Tennessee Terrors baseball team. All books have crossover characters but are standalone novels and can be read in any order.

What I wasn’t expecting was Marcus Wright, the most frustrating man on the face of the planet, to be right next door. Our chemistry is undeniable, and it doesn’t take long to realize a summer fling is just what the doctor ordered.

I try to fight it, but the pull is too strong. So when she suggests a little no-strings fun, I’m all in.

Some promises are meant to be broken…
For over six years, I’ve respected Evangeline’s wishes,
Kept my last promise to her and stayed far away.
I’ve learned to live without my missing piece,
Grown used to the ache of my broken heart,
All while I’ve worked to become the man she always deserved…
Even if I never have a chance to show her.
But my distance was dependent on her happiness,
On evidence that not only did she not want me,
She didn’t need me.
Now her star is fading right before my eyes
And that conviction is smoke.
I’m done playing dead.
I’m still the only one she can’t hide from.
The only one who can read her music.
All I have to do is help her remember…
We’re a perfect song, matched note for note.

But he doesn’t need to know that.
Because Lorenzo isn’t just tall, dark and covered in hot tattoos, he’s perfection. Totally unattainable for a girl whose biggest accomplishment is landing a job cleaning aquariums.
Until the day Lorenzo goes into surgery… and comes out saying the words I’ve spent a lifetime longing to hear.
