  The field won’t be the only place he kneels for her.
SierraGetting called up to the majors was the dream of a lifetime, but pitching in the All Star Game after months of choking on the mound is a beautiful nightmare. Until I meet him in the dug-out. My sports idol. My teenage hero-worship crush. Home Run Derby winner and one of the most sought after players in the league—on and off the field.I don’t date ballplayers.Mateo Reyes stares at me from behind home plate and gives me the lifeline I need. But off the diamond? No game, no rivalry, no fear of failure terrifies me as much as the things he makes me want.MateoFourteen years of chasing a Series ring, and what do I have to show for it? No ring. No one to call mine while everyone else moves on and settles down around me. An empty house that’s nearly as cold as I am accused of being by every commentator and tabloid.I may not be as good as I once was, but I am not finished yet.Every game, my body screams a little louder that I am running out of time. If this season is my last shot to make all I’ve sacrificed mean something, I should resent the midseason trade that brings us a rookie who doesn’t know how to trust herself or her catchers.When I stare at Sierra Ramirez from behind the plate, resentment is the last thing on my mind.
