The Rulebreaker

The Dugout #3

by Piper Rayne

I’m the coach’s daughter. Falling for one of my father's players was never the plan.
Especially not Decker Davis.

Chicago Colts third baseman.
Dependable. Steady. The guy everyone trusts.
And the man who’s spent years keeping his distance—especially from me.

We have history. The kind that ten years and a thousand miles can’t touch.
So, this time, I promised myself I'd be smarter.
No getting attached. No blurred lines. And definitely, no falling.
He broke every last one within the first week.

Because Decker doesn’t just show up for me. He shows up for my daughter.
Because he fits into our lives like he was always meant to be there.
Because he looks at me like I was never something he wanted to lose.

And suddenly, the walls I've spent years building don't feel nearly as solid as they used to.

But if I let him in, I’m not just risking my heart—I’m risking hers too… and I already know what losing him costs.
I won’t let my daughter pay that price.

THEIR COVER!! AHHH I'm excited for more of the twins dynamic and hopefully growth in their relationship. Of course give me all the pining and angst between Decker and Penelope too, can't wait to see this man fall in love with his girl but also her kid!

my guess is Decker and Penelope for book 3.. one that got away, single mum, second chance (seems like he never got over her)!! Please I see the writing on the wall, and we don't get a name drop for just any random character.. 👀
