Play Safe (Make the Play Book 1)

I always thought that when I fell in love it would be easy, like catching the perfect pitch. The right girl would slide into my glove seamlessly. That’s what I wanted. A typical boy meets girl; girl falls for jock story.

But that’s not what I got.

I had to fall for the one girl I couldn’t have. The one girl I shouldn’t want. My best friend Cal’s younger sister.

Cal and I have been friends and teammates pretty much our entire lives. We have each other’s backs on and off the baseball field. And that’s why I helped his sister Emmy the night she got into a fight with her loser boyfriend. I did it because it was the right thing to do.

What happened afterward was a mistake. A mistake Cal can never find out about.

The problem is that it’s a mistake I want to make again…and again. Even though Emmy is pushing me away, I know she wants it too. But I know that if we act on what we want, people will get hurt. However, I don’t know if I’m strong enough to fight my feelings. Besides, I don’t think I want to.

I’ve never been the type of guy to take a risk, but for Emmy I will.

I’m tired of playing it safe.
