title: The Hot Corner
author: Noelle, Amy
description: Professionally, Danielle Pierce is making a name for herself writing biographies of famous athletes. Her star is on the rise, and her publisher is pleased. Her personal life isn't going as swimmingly, and she's recently back on the market after calling off her engagement to Mr. Perfect-On-Paper, not that she's looking for anyone special. Her career is her focus and it keeps her content. Her agent and publisher throw her a curveball she never saw coming when she's assigned to cover the hottest baseball player-on and off the field-Bradley Reynolds. Brad, the Dodgers' third baseman, spends as much time on the covers of tabloids as on the sports pages, dating models and actresses, each one more beautiful than the last. But he doesn't let them distract him from his need to excel on the field. Baseball comes first, and it always has, ever since the love of his life walked away from him years ago. Danielle Pierce had been the only woman who ever mattered to him, the only one who ever would. Dani never thought she'd have to see Brad in person again, let alone spend weeks with him writing his biography. He broke her heart in college, and she'd never risked it since. Seven years later he selects her to write the story of his life, and she's stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she refuses, she looks like a coward. If she gives in, he wins. Can she be around him without falling for his Southern charm and deadly looks again? Can she show him that he didn't break her? She doesn't know what his game is, but she hopes she's strong enough this time to play without getting burned.
