Read Drake's thoughts in this newly released teaser from INSIDE GAME!
But she doesn't turn the light on. Instead, she shoves the covers aside and crawls into bed next to me. I don't move because she's not here for anything more. I'm on top of the comforter, and she's underneath it. There's a barrier separating us from doing something I'd later regret. Not that I don't want to be with her again. It's just that I feel so unworthy of even touching her right now.She rolls over onto her side, and I'm still sprawled out on my stomach. We're facing each other, but we don't say anything. We just lie here together in the silence, her hair spread out across my pillow. My bandaged arm is between us, a reminder of the tragic turn of events of the last few days. We stare into each other's eyes until I see the worry lines around her mouth begin to relax.
"Will you go somewhere with me tomorrow?" she asks on the verge of sleep, her eyes half closed.
"Where?" I mumble.
"Somewhere that feels like home."

What another romance author shared with me after reading INSIDE GAME!
"Wow, I really love this story. I've always been drawn to the sexy lifestyles of your characters, behind-the-scenes glimpses of sporting life in the big leagues. The man behind the image. But this work has a whole layer of depth and tension in addition to that foundation - it's a standalone romance novel as much as it is a sports genre work. The baseball takes a backseat; this is all about the characters, and you haven't shirked away from the heavy stuff. It makes the longing, hope and desire that much sweeter."Coming July 10, 2015

A look at Drake's vulnerable side in this newly released teaser from INSIDE GAME!
I cup her face in my hand and give her a gentle kiss. "Thank you for making me feel alive again."A hint of red enters her cheeks, making me chuckle.
"What?" I ask her.
"That's why I hope I made the right decision." She pulls my shirt from underneath her, quickly slipping it over her shoulders.
"I'm scared," she whispers. "I don't want to fail you, and if, for some reason, this doesn't work out between us, I don't want to be the cause of you reverting back to your old ways."
"Well, I intend on this working out," I grumble, sometimes wishing she wouldn't be so honest with me. "You're what I need."

Eva challenges Drake to be a better man in this new teaser from INSIDE GAME!
"That doesn't make me a good man, Eva. You don't know all the things I've done, the kind of person I really am.""All I know is the man you are now, and he's someone worth fighting for," she says ardently, latching on to my shirt. "That's why you're here today. To finally say goodbye to that person you once were and to let go of him forever. You're not defined by your past, Drake. Let the choices you make in the future show the world who you really are."
"Life is the sum of all choices, huh?" I quirk up the side of my mouth at her. "But I'm afraid it's a little more complicated than your Cracker Jack philosophy."
"It doesn't have to be," she challenges me. "You could commit to a new path—right here, right now. Tell your mother to go to hell. Be there for Willa and Coco when you get back to New York. Play the game the way it's meant to be played. Rely on your natural talent to carry you through."
"And what about you and me?" I ask.
She drops down off her tiptoes, easing her grip on my shirt. My heart constricts when she slowly backs away from me.
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
She pushes her hair away from her face, agitated. "Now is not the time to talk about that."
"And who gets to decide that? You?" I mock her, wishing she had the courage to deal with me the way she deals with everyone else. "You kissed me in my bed back in Tampa, but I guess that means nothing to you, right? You'll just do whatever it takes to get me to go along with you, another ploy that you pull out of your bag of tricks, sacrificing yourself for the greater good."
