<I>"Hooked</I> is an absolute treasure that leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next Brides book," said <I>Rendezvous</I> of Stef Ann Holm's second entry in this irresistible series. Now the bases are loaded with sweet desire and roguish fun as the Brides for All Seasons hit another grand slam.... <P> Camille Kennison is the most beautiful woman in Harmony, Montana, but she seems destined to end up a spinster. Although she's received marriage proposals, no man has stirred her heart or her passion. She thinks she's struck out forever. Until Alex Cordova arrives in town. <P> A darkly handsome former baseball star, Alex swore he'd never play ball again, but circumstances have arisen and he needs money. So when Camille offers him a contract with her father's team, he has little choice but to wear a uniform again. <P> Soon Camille is managing the bungling team, and Alex would rather make a play for the pretty honey than pitch baseballs. He hopes to win her over, but a secret tragedy in his past could throw them both a curveball...unless they learn that truth paves the path to their field of dreams.
