I'll Look After You - Paperback

Alicia:

Life has thrown me plenty of curveballs, but I was unprepared for my boss to tell me that my job is not only in jeopardy, but my hours have to be slashed so drastically, I can no longer afford my rent. Add in the mysterious and creepy letters that keep showing up in my mailbox, each one with a slightly more ominous tone, and your girl is barely hanging on. So when Warner James, the attractive outfielder for the Chicago Foxes and teammate to my best friend's fiancé, offers to let me stay at his place, I'm in no position to turn him down. And when the letters keep coming, and we hatch a plan to fake date so my stalker finally gets the hint that I'm unavailable, I feel like things are finally clicking into place. Until I can't stop looking at my roommate like that. And our fake little touches seem to turn into something more...

Warner:

I admit that I've been known to get around. I treat women well and my reputation of never being seen with the same woman twice is honestly deserved. My focus is baseball and hardly anything else at this stage of my life-relationships can come after I retire. Still, my new roommate needs help and I'm all too happy to provide it. I suddenly feel useful off the field. I don't mind pretending for the cameras if it ensures Alicia's safety. And who cares if it makes me feel warm inside when she smiles at me...or when our gazes catch and linger a little longer than necessary. I'm just here to help a friend, and this will all be over soon.
