The Wild Card (The Dugout Book 2)

A one-night stand with Foster Davis, her brother's best friend and closing pitcher for the Chicago Colts, results in an unexpected pregnancy. Known for his brooding demeanor and reputation for keeping emotional distance, Foster surprises her by stepping up and insisting they navigate parenthood together. They agree to a practical arrangement: co-parenting with clear boundaries and no romantic involvement. However, as they spend time together, the dynamic shifts. Foster shows a gentler side in private moments and looks at her with protective intensity. His carefully constructed emotional walls begin to crack as he lets her in. When physical intimacy enters the arrangement, maintaining emotional distance becomes increasingly difficult. The more time she spends with Foster, the harder it becomes to remember why she ever considered him a risky choice.
