The Windup and the Pitch - A Baseball Story - FOREWORD (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/hpv8DKaUPT After three seasons in the revived All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, Tess Valenzuela is heralded as the best female baseball pitcher in the world - so much that she's garnered the attention of MLB scouts. When MLB announces a plan to integrate players from the women's league, Tess's world is turned upside down when she's signed by the Milwaukee Brewers. With a media circus and obsessive fans following her, alongside a tumultuous family life and a budding romance with a disarming teammate, Tess's rookie season is one that will truly go down in history.

 **NOTE: This is a completed work, but chapters will be posted over the next few days**

⚾⚾The Troublemaker by Piper Rayne is now live!⚾⚾

A fake marriage deal was never in my life’s plan.

Especially not to Easton Bailey.

Chicago Colts flashy shortstop.

The kind of man built for a good time and allergic to forever.

And the one who just slid a ring on my finger… on paper.

It’s supposed to be simple.

A mutually beneficial arrangement.

I play nanny to his son. He plays husband to my family.

No emotions. No complications. And absolutely no falling for each other.

Turns out pretending to be a family is the fastest way to break every rule we set.

Because he watches me like it was never just a deal.

Because he trusts me with the person who matters most.

Because the more we pretend, the less fake it feels.

And now the man who was never supposed to stay is the one I can't lose.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

Wow Piper and Rayne did an excellent job with this last book in the Dugout series. Who knew Easton Bailey had a heart of gold and was a sucker for romance. When the book 3 ended with a baby dump I was invested to see how it played out and I have to say it far exceeded my expectations. Who would have thought Easton would step up to the plate and man up. I didn't think the playboy had it in him. Boy does he prove everyone wrong.

Hadley the wanderer did an excellent job of opening up in this book and I really enjoyed her character and the struggles she had. I really commend her part when she handles Tanner's mom reveal with grace and integrity. She did not let it blow up what she and Easton had built. But I got to tell you, you will never guess who it is and it will blow your mind.

Overall this book was a great read full of the snarky fun that the Colts bring to the table. This big baseball family continues to grow and they have each others back always. The loyalty between them is amazing and I love the women they chose to be with them. All perfectly matched. This book has laughs, anger and tears that are sure to give you a ride like any other. I can't wait to see what Piper and Rayne come up with next. Love them baseball guys.

⚾⚾The Rulebreaker by Piper Rayne is now live!⚾⚾

I’m the coach’s daughter. Falling for one of my father's players was never the plan.

Especially not Decker Davis.

Chicago Colts third baseman.

Dependable. Steady. The guy everyone trusts.

And the man who’s spent years keeping his distance—especially from me.

We have history. The kind that ten years and a thousand miles can’t touch.

So, this time, I promised myself I'd be smarter.

No getting attached. No blurred lines. And definitely, no falling.

He broke every last one within the first week.

Because Decker doesn’t just show up for me. He shows up for my daughter.

Because he fits into our lives like he was always meant to be there.

Because he looks at me like I was never something he wanted to lose.

And suddenly, the walls I've spent years building don't feel nearly as solid as they used to.

But if I let him in, I’m not just risking my heart—I’m risking hers too… and I already know what losing him costs.

I won’t let my daughter pay that price.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

I absolutely love this series and this installment just reaffirms my feelings on that matter. I fell hard for the Colts and I am enjoying each of their stories as they each fall hard in love. Just a warning though the ending on this book is jaw dropping.

This installment focuses on Decker Davis. Veteran player and all around grumpy good guy who has secretly been in love with one woman his entire life. Penelope is a single mom who has a huge secret and is the catalyst of all things Foster and Decker. Add in yet another adorable little kid and you have the perfect book. So hang on to your seats because this book is about to take you for a ride.

This book is full of secrets, love, strength and bonds. You will see just how loyal Decker is to everyone and how loyal Chicago is to him. We learn alot more about the relationship between Decker and his brother Foster and all they have endured to become who they are today. And let us not forget Easton and all his crazy shenanigans. I swear that boy is Trouble with a capital T!!!

Overall this book is fun, energetic and quite lovely. It is sweet and romantic, yet a little on the dirty side. But like with all the books in this series it ends with a jaw dropping moment and leaves you wanting more. This book has all the perfect elements to be the absolute best romantic comedy. Here's to waiting for the next book of crazy fun...
