Curveball: The Baby and the Grump by Layla Valentine

It was only supposed to be a temporary arrangement,
Little do they know, they’re soon to be bound forever…

HER
I was already having a bad day,
Then I had to go and injure a pro athlete – and a really grumpy one at that…
Jackson is a nightmare patient,
And if I mess up his baseball career, he has the power to ruin me,
But it’s my fault he’s hurt, and it’s clear that no one else is around to look after him,
So, I make a plan to be the best nurse I can be…
The more I get to know him, the clearer it becomes that there’s more to Jackson than meets the eye,
When he lets go of the persona that he’s built for himself, he can be kind and funny, and interesting, and oh-so hot,
And that’s where the trouble started…

HIM
I know I have a reputation for being a jerk,
And when Freya smashed my arm and my World Series hopes in one swoop, I didn’t exactly do anything to disprove it.
Weeks later, she’s fully inserted her into my life,
She says she’s here to be a nurse, but I’d be blind not to see that there’s more to it,
I told myself that I might not need her, but I can want her….
And that has to be the end of it. Because if I’m not careful, I’m never going to let her go again.
