Excerpt
Later that night, I'm stretched out next to her in bed, still sweating and breathing hard, when she turns to me and asks, "Jake, how many girls have you been with?"I glance over at her. "Where’s this coming from?""Tell me. I want to know."I watch her fingers play with the dark thatch of hair on my chest. "Why?” I stall."Because you're way too good at this," she huffs, rolling onto her back.I press my head into the pillow and laugh, shaking the bed."What?" she cries, slapping my arm. "You are!"I close my eyes, really not wanting to do this. "Four," I mutter under my breath."Four?" she repeats like she couldn't possibly have heard me right. "Four hundred?""No, just four."She sits up and leans over me. "You're kidding, right?"I open my eyes to meet her gaze. "Nope, that's it.""Am I one of the four?" she asks softly."Uh huh."She thinks I'm this raging stud, and it sucks to have to disappoint her.

About the Author
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.
She is the author of NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER and GAME ON.
