The Wrong Pitch by Brittany Taylor I couldn’t possibly have been more wrong the night I’d tackled Hunter Moore to the ground in the middle of the night. To be fair, the street was pitch-black, the wheel to my suitcase had popped off, and I found myself face to face with a stranger charging at me.

Every interaction is charged with venom and desire, a twisted dance that's both enthralling and frightening. Then there's Grayson, my estranged stepbrother, dead set on revenge. Plotting my demise in the shadows of his ire and resentment, even as it threatens to consume u
