Synopsis:
Strike is the second book in the Completion

is a standalone HEA novel.
Nineteen-year-old Jaycee Shumway breaks into professional baseball player, Reed Tyler’s home, to steal the second most valuable set of balls he owns. Neither of them expect their striking attraction or battle of wills to lead them to a homerun.
Jaycee has more than herself to worry about. When Reed discovers she has a younger brother and sister, he’s quickly caught up in their world of need and heartbreak.
Baseball season begins and the separation puts Reed and Jaycee’s game on hold. With bases loaded and hearts on the line, will Reed convince Jaycee that she needs him to win or will Jaycee strike out and walk off the field forever?
This New Adult book is intended for mature audiences.

Author Bio:
Holly
S. Roberts is the bestselling author of fourteen novels, and writes under three
pen names. A romantic at heart, she fell in love at the age of twelve with a
boy she saw across junior high school campus. Four years later, he took notice
and she never let go. Her career in law
enforcement gives her a reason to want romance, happy endings, and anything
that takes her away from real life when she reads and writes. She can shoot a
mean game of pool, toss back a straight shot of tequila, and recite the
Gettysburg Address. Holly lives high in
the mountains in the southwest United States with her husband, Rottweiler and
Chihuahua.
Excerpt:
His husky
laughter rang out, drowning me in the sexy sound. Why couldn’t he snort like a
pig or something just as ridiculous when he laughed?
“You’re
very concerned about my balls,” he said when his laughter died away.
My
smartass mouth took front and center. “If you remember… I’ve seen your balls
and it would be unsporting of me not to be concerned.”
Oh, God,
his eyes sparkled and I would do anything to take back my words and the
thoughts they conjured.
Reed
wouldn’t let it pass. “I’ve seen a fair amount of you and that also causes me
concern. So much concern that I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Mortification anyone?
“A
gentleman wouldn’t bring that up.”
This time,
his laugh was plain evil. “A gentleman wouldn’t have cut away your shirt and
bra. A gentleman wouldn’t have admired your tits. A gentleman wouldn’t do
this…”
I had no
time to prepare for what happened next. His warm lips took mine at the same
time his hands closed around my upper arms, trapping me. My entire body reacted
to the kiss. I grew light-headed, my breasts ached, and my heart almost
exploded out of my chest. But it was the taste of his mouth that had me
squeezing my thighs together. I never knew anyone could taste this good. There
was no description on earth that did it justice. I wanted to eat him whole.
