She never worried about her crush on baseball’s bad boy until he landed right in her lapEva Harlowe always figured her crush on Finn Castro would never be anything but her deepest fantasy. Until the Saints send him down to the minors after one too many scandals.

And given Eva works for the Sarasota Springs Preachers, that means now her job is dealing with the fallen Saint way too up close and personal. Finn might as well have ‘bad decision’ tattooed on his forehead and she knows she has to resist.

Which would be easier if meeting the gorgeous Finn face to face didn’t make her want to learn all the wicked things he can teach her. He's trying to learn his lesson, but she makes him want to play dirtyFinn knows he’s on his last chance.

Three strikes and the Saints have exiled him to see if he can reform his ways. He needs to keep his head down and prove that he deserves a second chance.

But Eva would tempt even a true saint and he’s not even close to that. When the two of them strike a bargain for a strictly one season fling, it seems the perfect solution.

But hearts don’t always follow the rules and as their clock starts to run out, they either have to face their feelings or lose everything they are. Playing Fast is the fifth book in the New York Saints series, a steamy sports romance series.
