Jase Stevens has a life and career that are heading in one direction... up. His career as the pitcher for the Baton Rouge Gris Gris, the baseball farm team, is garnering him national attention as a major league contract seems to be rapidly approaching. His love life is also not lacking. His devilish good looks and southern charm have women flocking to him both on and off the baseball diamond. Cally Cooper loves her life and takes pride in the fact that she helps animals that otherwise might be lost due to irresponsible owners and neglect. She runs Love & Paws, a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue center. The animals fill her life with purpose and her heart with love, though lately she finds herself yearning for the love of a good man as well.After one night of celebration, Jase is arrested and charged with a DUI. Community Service at the Love & Paw's animal rescue center is part of his sentence. Neither Cally nor Jase are happy about the situation, but neither have a choice in the matter. Both have preconceived ideas of what the other is like, but as they spend more time together, a spark of attraction takes them by storm. Will they realize that maybe they misjudged each other? When two people find something they didn't know they needed, will they embrace it or run from it? Are they willing to take a chance on love or will the idea of opening yourself up to something you never expected have them both running from Rookie Love?***This book is intended for those 18 and older.
