About this eBook
WHEN THE PITCH GETS PERSONAL
Atlanta Skyline’s star Swedish wingback Oz Terim—or as the fans call him, the Wizard—has an airtight plan for his life, his career, even his meticulously renovated house, but he barely gives a thought to the Islamic faith he inherited from his Turkish parents. So no one’s more surprised than he is when he’s the victim of anti-Muslim hate crime. Refusing to take the threat seriously, he resists the security detail Skyline insists on . . . until he meets Kate Mitchell. There’s no room for her in his plan and she’s the exact opposite of what he wants. Then why can’t he keep his hands off her?
After ten years in the military—and getting fired from her first post-Army job in Saudi Arabia—Kate Mitchell has slunk home to her Georgia roots. Private security isn’t the career she dreamed of, nor is she thrilled to work with an uptight professional athlete who plays a sport she has no interest in. She never expected to be attracted to him—or for him to fall for her, too. As their opposite lives tangle up—and the threat against Oz grows more serious—Kate has to decide who she wants to be in life and in love.
“Fans who enjoy reading books featuring multicultural couples won’t want to pass this one up. A lot of fun and the romance is slow-building and sweet.” —RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
“A well-crafted and very enjoyable sports romance that also delves into a timely subplot of the challenges faced by immigrants to America . . . Crossing Hearts delivers an exciting and passionate read.”

This was a very enjoyable read. A unique story with some very interesting characters. Soccer star Oz "Wizard" Terim has life firmly in hand. Getting paid to play the game he loves, living in Atlanta, and renovating his house. All according to plan. Then he becomes a victim of an anti-Muslim hate crime and his life is turned upside down. Kate Mitchell has spent the last 10 years in the military. Now a civilian again she finds herself working private security and stuck babysitting a pro athlete of all people. Never ever did she expect the attraction between them to flare to life. She has to remain focused though as the threats against Oz grow. Good read and one I would definitely recommend.
