Raise your hand if you've ever done this. Written a racy message and sent it to—oops—the wrong person.

Well, I was.
*Facepalm*
At least the column goes viral, but I'm still the
...I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again.

So what if he's hella sexy?
...A sexy standalone forbidden sports romance from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely!
I had an excuse two years ago when I met her on campus. She interviewed me for a story on major league baseball's rising stars, and we shared a hot, passionate night that ended far too soon, and without a mention of who her father was.
Now I know the innocent but sexy woman I can't stop thinking about is the coach's daughter.
