Straight from the Heart - Large Print Author:Tami Hoag Jace Cooper was back in town, and Rebecca Bradshaw desperately wished she didn't have to face him! Seven years before, the impossibly charming, utterly tempting baseball player had taught her passion, then broke her heart when he'd left to play in the pros. She'd worked so hard to forget him, but she could still remember how his mout... more »h felt on her skin. Heat spread through her like wildfire when Jace entered the rehab center...and Becca feared she could never deny him. Injured in a car accident that had left him with a bad knee and hidden scars, Jace vowed to play ball again--and to win a second chance with Becca. But even though time had given Jace rough edges that made him easier to hold on to, Becca couldn't be sure he had changed. The reckless playboy she'd loved and lost was older and wiser, but she had to forgive his mistakes...and her own. Nothing could change the past, but when Jace promised forever, could she believe he'd cherish her always?

They say that each of us becomes an entirely new person every seven years. But Rebecca Bradshaw doesn't feel any different when an old lover shows up severely injured at the hospital where she runs the physical therapy department. Seven years ago baseball player Jace Cooper left her without a second thought or the chance to share the life-changing secret she swore she'd keep from him forever. Now he was back, wanting both her help and a second chance. Becca hadn't changed, and she didn't believe Jace had either, but as she helped him repair his broken body and his fractured past, she would find she was wrong on both counts. The only thing that had stayed the same was the most important thing of all--and now suddenly time was running out.
