Catch Her Heart by Julia Jarrett
Vancouver Tridents #3
Contemporary Sports Romance
October 8, 2024
I’m the oldest virgin in major league baseball. And I’m in love with a woman who’s about to marry someone else.
Listen. It’s not like I planned to still be a virgin at twenty-eight. Or to fall in love with the team trainer, who apparently would rather date a guy who wears polo shirts instead of baseball pants.
But life doesn’t always go according to plan.
When I first laid eyes on Lark Miller, I knew she was something special. Unfortunately, so did her boyfriend.
For years I kept my feelings hidden. I accepted my role as best guy friend, and focused on my career. My priority needs to be securing another contract with the Vancouver Tridents so I can help my parents retire. I can’t afford any distractions.
But then the day comes that Lark shows up at my door, and tells me she’s ended her engagement. Not only that, but she’s broken up with polo shirt guy.
And then she kisses me.
My fantasy becomes my reality. Lark wants me. Me. She’s perfect, we’re perfect, everything is perfect. I’ve got the woman of my dreams, and the best part is she understands how important baseball has to be for me right now.
But remember what I said about life not going according to plan?
My name is Dan “Monty” Montgomery: Formerly the oldest virgin in baseball, and now the newest expectant father.

Catch Her Heart by Julia Jarrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Why are men like Dan hard to find? If the world would have more like him we’d never choose a bear i can tell you that much.
Dan has love Lark for a long time. He keeps his feelings in check because she’s in a relationship. But when she tells him she broke off the engagement, he knows this is his shot. And when Lark surprised him with a kiss, all bets are off. He will stop at nothing to make her his.
Lark never suspected her best friend having feelings for her. But soon she sees just how special Danis and how much hes loved her from a far. She knows how lucky she is and it was such a thrill watching their relationship go from friends to forever.
I’m a huge fan of Julia Jarrett and this book might be my favorite so far. I love the Trident world and i can’t wait to come back to it ASAP!

KEEP READING for an EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
“I’m pregnant.”
What the actual fuck?
In all the scenarios that played out in my mind the last few days, a baby never factored into a single one.
Pregnant?
But even as I stare at her, the pieces fall into place. I swear, I’m not an idiot, but I sure as shit feel like one. She was exhausted, nauseous, and emotional.
I may not have ever had a girlfriend, but I went to sex-ed class in high school. I’ve been around guys with kids. I’ve watched movies and heard the stories. I know what the early signs of pregnancy can be.
Yet still, somehow, I never considered this.
At some point in my mental processing, Lark has managed to move off my lap without me noticing. Until I open my mouth and say probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever said.
“How?”
She paces away from me, her arms wrapped around her stomach, and I hate that I’m not touching her. Especially when she chokes out a laugh.
“Well, you see, when a man and a woman —”
No. No fucking way. I stand up and close the distance between us in a second, gripping her gently by the shoulders.
“Lark. Give me a second, please. I’m handling this all wrong. I just…” Words fail me, and I know I’ve got to figure my shit out, and fast, or I’ll lose her. “Shit, Birdie, a baby?”
Another forced laugh.
I drop to my knees and place my hands on her stomach. “Hi, baby bird.” When I look up at her, she’s staring down at me, her mouth partly open and eyes filled with tears.
“Dan?” she whispers brokenly. And there’s so much weight to that one word, my name, phrased as a question.
“This is amazing,” I say quietly. “I don’t know the odds, but I’m guessing they were not exactly good. And yet somehow, we did this. We made a fucking baby.” I grin, even through my tears that are no longer based in fear but in pure, exquisite joy. “I’ve got super sperm.”
