Holly Bell is a paediatric surgeon, Nate Carter is the star pitcher for the Philadelphia Patriots. When Nate visits the children's ward to spend time with the sick children, he sees Holly and is totally blown away by this beautiful doctor, there is immediate chemistry between them, and Nate is keen to ask Holly out. With an upcoming charity function he sees his chance. From there they go out on quite a few dates, eventually they go away for the weekend. Holly has fallen in love with Nate, but she knows he is a womaniser, and has women in different cities where the team travels to play their games. Deciding to tackle him where their relationship is heading, and if he was intending to be faithful, did not go well as Nate could not promise that he would not see other women. Holly breaks off the relationship.This was a good story about two very different people a dedicated doctor, who does not go in for casual flings, while Nate has never been in a committed relationship. Although I did not warm to Nate straight away it was easy to see how he had fallen into his lifestyle women threw themselves at him constantly. Whereas Holly had led a less hectic life, totally different from Nate's celebrity and fame. She did not have the ability to worry about what Nate might be up to behind her back. How they resolved this was interesting to read. Holly also has a dangerous stalker, which adds another dimension to the plot. The authors of this book are a husband and wife team, I think they have done a very good job.
