I can't believe it, but that "brilliant" (depending on who you ask...) idea I had back in 2013 is now celebrating it's 5th anniversary. Once again I will be taking four lucky players on the current Detroit Tigers roster and spinning them their very own Harlequin romances. Per usual (for any lawyers reading this...) these stories are 1% truth and 99% pure Grade A malarkey. I love Harlequins and I love Detroit Tigers baseball - so why not throw them both in a blender and see what kind of half-baked idea is the result?
This year brings us two new editions to the Tigers Meet Harlequin All-Star roster and two returning players getting brand new stories. We'll kick things off tomorrow, but in the meantime, why not catch-up and/or relive the previous four years of shenanigans?
2016 Tigers Meet Harlequin Roster:
Miguel Cabrera, first base - The Slugger's Family Promise
Daniel Norris, starting pitcher - The Pitcher's Second Chance Romance
James McCann, catcher - The Catcher's Sexy Revenge
Brad Ausmus, manager - The Secretary's Dreamy Bombshell

I can't believe I never saw this before, Wendy. Having grown up a Tigers fan who stayed up half the night reading Harlequin romances with a flashlight under the covers, these stories are like margaritas-on-the-beach delicious!
Yay!!
I am so glad you are doing this for another year. I adored your previous stories treatments, even though I'm a Baltimore fan.
What's not to like about hunky ballplayers finding true love? I will have my popcorn ready!
PJ: Are you saying you have other things besides read my blog? LOL
Barb: I pretty much had two of the four stories mapped out in my head before last season ended - which is a good thing since I pulled a marathon blog post writing session over the weekend :)
