Third Strike's the Charm - Nicci Carrera - Bog

Super student Cara Cruz made it all the way through her prestigious MBA program only to choke on the last final. Ordered by her advisor to take the summer off and clear her head, she's home in Lobster Cove for some fun before retaking the exam. If she fails a second time, she will lose her dream job offer in Chicago. Meanwhile her best friend happens to be her ex-boyfriend's mom, which means close contact with the man who broke her heart. Twice. This time she'll protect her heart no matter the cost. Ex-major-league baseball pitcher Jason Ward blew his money, his elbow, and his love life. Now at home taking care of his mom and working on a new life plan, he wants Cara back, but he already struck out, didn't he? Maybe not, and now his mission is to win her back without telling her the truth about why he really came home. Winning at love will be the only play that counts.
