SAN FRANCISCO — Falcon/NakedSword publishing imprint FalconINK has released a sequel to its erotic sports-themed romance novella "Hard Ball."
Written by Riley Parks, "Hard Ball 2: Playing for Keeps" is also available in audiobook format, narrated by Eddie Burke.
"Mateo Ruiz has spent his entire life chasing the majors, but when the call finally comes, it takes him away from the one thing he never planned on finding: Chase Whitaker," the synopsis reveals. "What began as an irresistible attraction between teammates has become a secret relationship marked by stolen nights, true devotion, and an appetite for each other that distance only makes worse. Then, Chase gets his own call and lands on a rival team. Suddenly, the man Mateo loves is standing across the diamond in another uniform, looking particularly gorgeous and completely off-limits. In front of the cameras, they’re competitors with everything to prove; behind closed doors, weeks apart leave them desperate to make up for lost time."
Added Falcon/NakedSword Co-Chief Ben Rush, "We’re extremely proud of the success of our new publishing arm, FalconINK, and are beyond excited that fans have connected so strongly with the 'Hard Ball' universe. Riley Parks has delivered a home run sequel, and readers are going to love how Mateo and Chase’s romance continues to unfold."
"Hard Ball 2: Playing for Keeps" is available as a paperback, e-book, or audiobook where books are sold, including Amazon, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble.
