Chasing Headlines: An enemies to lovers, fake dating baseball romance (Chasing Victory) Kindle Edition
They’re chasing the same dream. Too bad they’re not on the same team...
After a heated outburst ruins his major league baseball prospects, Breslin Cooper lands at Texas State Tech with a probation sentence and a bad rep. With obligatory therapy, campus rules, and scouts steering clear, his baseball career is on the thinnest of thin ice–in a West Texas desert.
Olivia "Liv" Milline lives and breathes the game—but thanks to her overprotective baseball-exec father, she’s banned from pursuing her dream of becoming a baseball scout.
Her workaround? Becoming a sports reporter on campus, and chasing stories behind the scenes.
When Liv sets her sights on the notoriously moody, attractive Breslin as her next big story, things spiral fast. He’s not talking, and she’s not backing down. But when trouble threatens his probation and baseball scholarship, Breslin might need Liv more than he wants to admit.
Enemies? Check. Chemistry? Explosive. A headline-worthy mess in the making? Absolutely.

From the Author
I wrote the first incarnation of Breslin and Liv in 2006 as a short story called "Off the Record". It was an attempt to mentally escape while being forced to attend a Texas Rangers baseball game during August - in 100+ degree weather.
For those of you who have never been to an "open air" stadium in Texas in August, The Ballpark in Arlington was a giant group sauna complete with plastic seats that would melt your skin off.
I wanted to be writing (crazy pants), and the Rangers, though the team during that era featured greats like Michael Young and Pudge Rodriguez - they were having a less than stellar season.
I love baseball, but I did not want to go that day. I was dragged virtually kicking and screaming (internally, like a responsible, quasi-adult would - complete with scowling and huffing and general grumpiness). And since I was stuck open air baking for 3-4 hours, I decided to write a story in my head about a baseball player and a reporter.
"Off the Record" was set much later in Breslin & Liv's trajectory, after they graduated college and moved on to their adult lives.
There was something about that story, I think. It wasn't the first romcom I'd written, but still, something was different about it. Their banter and chemistry was so lively, I had a number of readers ask me to continue it.
Skip ahead fifteen years, and another short story finally escaped the brain; entitled "Curveballs & Ice Cream", it went back in time to their college days. This version of Liv and Breslin . . . stuck, grew roots, dug deep. I realized that I needed to know and explore their story before "Off the Record" if I was ever going to continue beyond it.
Which is how we wound up here...
Chasing Headlines is that exploration, the point in time where Liv and Breslin's story first began.
Thank you for reading. I really hope you'll enjoy it.
