Dog-Eared Daydreams

The Wild Card (The Dugout #2) by Piper Rayne Release Date: April 2, 2026 About The Wild Card Getting pregnant after a one-night stand with my brother’s best friend was never part of the plan. We're talking about Foster Davis here. Chicago Colts closing pitcher. The broody king of one-word answers. And the man everyone knows keeps one foot out the door. Surprisingly, when two pink lines turn my world upside down, Foster doesn't run. He steps in, he shows up, and he insists we do this together. Pretending we're fine is easy. Pretending this is just about the baby? Not so much. Because Foster is gentle when no one's watching. Because he looks at me like I'm something worth protecting. Because the walls he's built start to crack—and I'm the one he's letting inside. Our arrangement was supposed to be simple. Boundaries were set. Co-parents and no catching feelings. Okay, maybe a few sex lessons were added in too. Bad idea, I know. Be...

Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the authors via Valentine PR. Did I correctly guess who the male main character was going to be in the second The Dugout book? Nope! I went with the wrong twin, but whether you guessed wrong or right, the writing duo that is Piper Rayne still delivered a highly entertaining and swoon-worthy accidental pregnancy, falling-for-your-sibling's-best-friend (or alternatively, falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling), sports romance. If you've read the series starter, The Hotshot , then you know that at the end of the book, thirty-year-old podcaster Callie Carlisle shared a bit of news with her best friend; One hot hook-up has led to her being pregnant.  The Wild Card  reveals who the father is, and if you've read the blurb, then you know that it's none other than Foster Davis. Yup, it's none other than the thirty-three-year-old closing pitcher for the Chicago Colts, who also happens to be Callie's brother's...

This Guy (Wood Hollow #1) by Lane Hayes Release Date: March 25, 2026 About This Guy The football star, the lumberjack, and a small-town love story… Silas Not to sound dramatic, but I can’t decide if I’m a hot mess, a has-been…or both. There’s nothing quite like being in the spotlight at my lowest point. I could use a break from LA and my agent—just for a little while. But Vermont in the middle of a blizzard? Probably not a great idea. However, the sexy lumberjack who lives next door is a sweet surprise. And so are his kids and the town. I like this place. I could be happy here…at least till my new season begins. Cooper My time is split between work and fatherhood. That’s it. Boss and Dad. Maybe that’s why the football star is a breath of fresh air. Silas is funny, charismatic, and cool. My kids love having a celebrity living next door. And me? I can’t remember the last time I felt quite so alive. Yes, I’m well aware this isn’t going anywhere. Our worlds are just ...
