Winter's Thaw Sometimes in the depths of winter, warmth can force an unexpected bloom. In shock after the death of her ex-husband, Maggie Winter gives in to her need for comfort with a near stranger, but immediately regrets her impulsive act. With her young daughter to raise alone, it's time to start acting her age. Something about Maggie puts all of Nick's protective instincts on high alert, but that isn't all he feels for her. So when she makes it clear she needs space, he isn't put off by her cool act and has no problem biding his time. However, when the slow simmer between them stretches on, it's just a matter of time before one of them decides to turn up the heat. Spring Training With two diverging careers on the line, Teri and Aaron are torn between the right thing to do...and what feels so right to them. With a son who's played since he could walk, Teri lives, eats and breathes baseball. She was almost more excited than Emery when his invitation to a minor league team's training camp came. But excited doesn't begin to describe her reaction to Em's new mentor, Aaron Reynolds. A spring fling? Just the ticket. Fighting a chronic injury, Aaron is biding his time until he can return to the majors. Being assigned a mixed-up rookie to babysit is fine with him, especially one that comes with a sassy, sexy camp follower like Teri. But he soon finds he has his hands full...trying to keep Emery on the straight and narrow...and trying to keep his liaison with Teri strictly physical.
