Rhys Rivera is the star short-stop for the Longview Lumberjacks. Many know him, even more love him. He has a pretty face, a quick smile, and an air of danger about him that everyone seems to adore.
He’s not known as the bad boy of baseball for nothing.
It all started with his father, who decided to be a criminal mob boss, then die.
Fortunately for his uncle, Rhys wants absolutely nothing to do with the family business and runs before anyone can figure out which way is up.
It all started with his father, who decided to be a criminal mob boss, then die.
Fortunately for his uncle, Rhys wants absolutely nothing to do with the family business and runs before anyone can figure out which way is up.
By the time his uncle, the successor to his father’s criminal empire, thinks to look for him, Rhys has made too big of a name for himself to be taken out quietly, and he wants to keep it that way.
Fast forward eight years, and Rhys is living life one breath at a time, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. That shoe coming in the form of a nosy neighbor who has no idea just how hot she is in her mail carrier uniform.
Fast forward eight years, and Rhys is living life one breath at a time, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. That shoe coming in the form of a nosy neighbor who has no idea just how hot she is in her mail carrier uniform.
Her sweet little body and positive outlook on life make him want to laugh at how naïve she is when it comes to the way of the world.
The harder he tries to stay away, the weaker he seems to get, until one day he decides to put his morals on hold long enough to satisfy his cravings.
One time is all he needs—or so he tells himself.
But then two pink lines change everything, and all of a sudden, he doesn’t have just himself to worry about anymore.

Listen Pitch is Rhys Rivera and Henley Cree's story. This is the third title in the There's No Crying in Baseball series, but can easily be read as a standalone. If you've read Too Bad, So Sad, you may recognise this pair as the timeline of this story is prior to Tyler and Cora's book, in which they appeared.
Listen Pitch is a sports romance, with a touch of mafia. A poignant and emotional story with both humor and angst. The story line is full of drama, action, intrigue and danger. The witty, fun, flirtatious and humorous banter combined with twists and turns aplenty will keep you completely captivated.
Rhys Rivera is a baseball star with a dark past. He may be sweet and kind hearted but he's and alpha to the core and incredibly protective of those he cares for most.
Henley Cree is enigmatic, likeable and relate-able. She is sweet, kind, caring and compassionate, and a tad quirky. She's incredibly selfless, strong and at times confident, but also quite vulnerable and insecure in her own perceived faults.
Rhys and Henley are both incredibly complex, unique and endearing characters. Their chemistry is undeniable, and some of the love scenes are incredibly hot and steamy. I will be eagerly awaiting future titles in this series.
