Seasoned Veteran - Lee Roz

At forty years old, the Mustangs batting coach, Jake Tulleson, has spent a lifetime running from commitment. When he falls in love with a woman barely older than his daughter, he uses every excuse to justify leaving her when the season is over. It isn't long before he realizes his mistake and heads back to Dallas to claim what's his, but it will take a Christmas miracle to convince her to give him a second chance.

After ending their affair before the stadium lights dimmed on the team's final playoff game, Jake's back from his off-season hidey-hole, full of remorse and begging for another chance with Siobhan. His love them and leave them reputation was just what she'd wanted-until she didn't. Foolish her to think their love was different and their fifteen-year age difference didn't matter. It'll be a cold day in Dallas before Siobhan forgives him for breaking her heart.
