The Way You Say Good Morning - Paperback

DELANEY:

My life was just fine before Samuel "Benny" Benjamin forced his way in. No stranger to heartache myself, I keep my interactions with the opposite sex to the hit-it-and-quit-it variety. Instead, the universe keeps throwing us together. And sure, I'll take the free dinners he keeps offering me, and the company he keeps me while visiting me at work, and the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not paying attention, and the irresistible and fun banter between us, but we aren't falling in love. And there definitely isn't a long-term future for us.

BENNY:

The pressure on me this season is unlike any I've ever experienced. After failing to lead my team to the World Series-yet again-I'm dreading what a new season will bring. It's hard enough being a team manager and a single dad away from your kids, but add in the pressure of an entire city on your shoulders? It's enough to bring a man to his knees. In what I thought was an attempt to release some tension, I hooked up with a bartender at Warner James's audiobook launch. What I didn't know was how the universe was going to keep throwing us together, or just how many sparks would fly even after our initial meeting. Now, the universe might not be the only thing bringing me to my knees.
