Legal Catch by ML Preston

He’s the star athlete who thrives on chaos. She’s the determined lawyer-in-training who craves order. They share a wall, a grudge, and absolutely no common ground… or so they think.

Tahlia Carter has one goal—pass the bar exam and launch her legal career. Living in a luxury condo was supposed to mean peace and quiet, the perfect environment to study. Instead, she’s stuck next door to Jake Reynolds, the Tennessee Terrors’ infuriatingly charming centerfielder who treats every night like a personal afterparty. The walls are thin, and so is her patience.
After one too many sleepless nights, Tahlia reaches her breaking point and confronts her loud, cocky neighbor. But instead of backing down, Jake doubles down—teasing her, tempting her, and challenging every rule she’s set for herself. When an unexpected act of chivalry turns into an impulsive invitation to his next game, Tahlia shocks them both by accepting.
What starts as a reluctant truce quickly spirals into something neither of them can ignore. The attraction is undeniable, the tension unbearable, and soon, their battles move from the walls between them to the spaces much closer.
She’s playing it safe. He’s playing to win. But when the game is love, will either of them follow the rules?
Legal Catch is the fifth book in a series with ten amazing authors about the Tennessee Terrors baseball team. All books have crossover characters but are standalone novels and can be read in any order.
