[Chicago Wildcats 01] • Sweeter Than Honey · A Chicago Wildcats Story

Carter

Going from a washed-up catcher of the Chicago Wildcats to a successful restaurateur hasn’t been easy, but I did it.

Everything is going perfectly.

Until the flu takes out practically my entire staff.

My manager says her best friend can fill in for my missing servers.

I’m wary, but at this point I’m willing to try anything, hire anyone just to keep my bar, Ace of Spades, open.

From the moment she strides into the bar, she’s stolen my customers' hearts.

Which is fine.

But there’s just one problem…

I didn’t think she’d steal mine as well.

I’m in such a mess.

After getting fired for punching a handsy customer, I’m terrified I’m a lost cause. I haven’t been able to keep a job for more than three months.

My best friend asks me to fill in for a couple of sick servers and I take the temp gig eagerly.

A girl’s gotta pay rent, after all. Not to mention my horrifying college debt…

When I arrive at Ace of Spades, I’m just looking for a quick paycheck, nothing more.

What I don’t expect is coming face to face with my childhood idol, Carter Whitman, the famous catcher from the Chicago Wildcats.

He’s nothing like I imagined.

He’s gruff. Stoic.

And, oh my God, he is HOT. Like SMOKING hot.

I don’t just want a paycheck anymore.

Now, I’ve got to have one night with Carter.

Just one night.

That’s not too much to ask for.

…is it?
