Looking to sell a small selection of cards. Prices are listed in the last image, but I am open to offers. I am also open to bulk pricing for more than one card.
For trades, I PC Miro Heiskanen, Mavrik Bourque, and Jake Oettinger.
DM me for me information.
My wife and I are on vacation, so I hit up one of the area's local card stores. I think I did alright with this box.
This is a dual PoV story about an injured baseball player and his personal chef, in the vein of EVVIE DRAKE STARTS OVER meets SPOILER ALERT.
Lacie Clinton is a chef on the cusp of her 40th birthday, recently fired for daring to challenge her former boss, who receives a mysterious job opportunity. The terms of the opportunity seem simple at first: cook for an injured baseball superstar, perform some light cleaning, and report on his progress to the team owner. In return for protecting the team owners' investment, Lacie will receive life-changing money, enough to open her own restaurant.
Jax Deen is an aging pitcher, trying to manage his grief and anger after a serious setback in his personal life led to issues on the field. Though he wants nothing more than to be left alone, his contract and his moral/ethical commitment to the team will not allow him to turn his back on the world.
When the lines between caretaking and love begin to blur, Lacie and Jax must address their unspoken problem: can a relationship based on a financial transaction evolve into something more?
This novel explores themes of body image, obligation, grief, and the cost of pursuing the things we want.
Brief Except
Lacie Clinton nearly lost control of her cloth grocery bag as a young woman came barreling out of the elevator. The stranger gave a quick, half-strangled scream of anguish, followed by a flurry of curses in Spanish as she pushed past Lacie and toward the double glass doors. At any other moment in her life, the woman would have been stop-traffic gorgeous; however, in that instant, tears streaking her makeup and carrying the stench of week-old tuna salad sandwiches, she looked more wet city rat than supermodel.
The doorman rushed out from behind the front desk and held the door open for the woman, whose focus was now so intently directed at her own feet that she could have walked headfirst into granite and not been stopped. As she passed him, the doorman gave the woman a gentle nudge to turn her down the sidewalk, saving the woman and the apartment building from the messy aftermath of a traffic accident. The doorman nodded to no one when the woman made the turn up the street toward the parking garage, and he began to walk back to the front desk.
“Damn, that’s two,” he muttered to himself as he took up his position. He settled into his high-backed chair, and his eyes slowly came to focus on the woman in front of him. He took a beat as if to steady his thoughts, then asked, “How may I be of assistance?”

What I'm Looking For
This is my first novel, and I've edited and revised it as much as I can without a fresh set of eyes. I'm looking for a beta reader to answer some of the following questions:
Timeline
I would like to start querying before the end of the summer, so 6-8 weeks is ideal. I'd prefer to send just a few chapters at a time so I can work on the suggested edits while the reader is working through the next set of pages.
Swaps
I am a college professor out on break, so I am definitely open to swaps, and I'm willing to take on more than one. Genres/themes that I am interested in include:
I am not a fan of:
If you are interested in reading or swapping, please DM me.
