Reckless Behavior - Paperback

by Meghan French (Author)

JUNE:

I work hard and love hard, so sue me. Few things in my life have gone according to my plan lately. It's bad enough that I had to leave what I thought was my dream job when the company suddenly folded, necessitating a move back in with my parents. When my professional baseball player brother hooks me up with a job in Chicago working for the team there, there's finally a ray of hope in the shambles that have become my life. My brother even arranges my housing for me. There's just one small problem: I have to live with my brother's best friend, who may or may not be my childhood crush and the boy who gave me my first kiss, only to immediately break my heart after.

All I have to do is make it through the season. With one season under my belt, I'll have enough experience and money saved up to venture out on my own, until my new roommate suddenly has ideas of his own.

ASHER:

It's my first full season as the starting pitcher for the Chicago Foxes and I'm finally settling into a groove. I've got friends, my team is doing well, and I'm pitching the best I ever have in my life. So when I finally decide I can relax enough to focus on my love life (or lack thereof), I dip my toes in the dating pool only to discover complete humiliation. Apparently, my nerves surrounding the extracurricular activities after I take my date home translate into a fumbling, awkward mess, leaving all parties dissatisfied. In a desperate attempt to regain control of the narrative spreading throughout the city that I'm bad in bed, I agree to allow my roommate to give me lessons, as long as her brother never finds out.

Because what her overprotective brother and my best friend can't know-ever-is that I've been in love with June Demoranville since I was a teenager. I've kept her at a distance since then, and that's where she will remain. Forever.
