Tailgates & First Dates

by Haley Rhoades

Overview

Sometimes the one thing you are looking for is the one thing you can't see. A tragedy, a death, and a new look on life, can Madison find a way to move forward when everything is abruptly disrupted?

Madison is learning to deal with the death of her abusive mother, while witnessing the horrifying accident of her adopted mother. Her small town continues to pull her back to the place she is trying so hard to forget. Raising Liberty, finishing college, and working on her writing career consumes her time but is becoming more than one person can do on their own.

Hamilton's career is flourishing as he gets the opportunity to pitch in the World Series for the Chicago Cubs. He can't shake the feeling that something is still missing, and when he learns Madison needs him most, it's time for him to return.

Something lovely often comes from weeks of despair. She's not ready, but it's time to reveal to Hamilton and his family their "secret."

Tailgates and First Dates is the 3rd book in the Locals Series. This steamy, contemporary, new adult, sports romance novel will keep you guessing with captivating characters and real to life events.

About the Author

Haley Rhoades’s writing is another bucket-list item coming to fruition, just like meeting Stephen Tyler, Ozzie Smith and skydiving. As she continues to write contemporary romance, she also writes sweet romance and young adult books under the name Brooklyn Bailey, as well as children’s books under the name Gretchen Stephens. She plans to complete her remaining bucket-list items, including ghost-hunting, storm-chasing, and bungee jumping. She is a Netflix-binging, Converse-wearing, avidly-reading, traveling geek.
A team player, Haley thrived as her spouse’s career moved the family of four, fifteen times to four states. One move occurred eleven days after a C-section. Now with two adult sons, Haley copes with her newly emptied nest by writing and spoiling Nala, her Pomsky. A fly on the wall might laugh as she talks aloud to her fur-baby all day long.
Haley’s under five-foot, fun-size stature houses a full-size attitude. Her uber-competitiveness in all things entertains, frustrates, and challenges family and friends. Not one to shy away from a dare, she faces the consequences of a lost bet no matter the humiliation. Her fierce loyalty extends from family, to friends, to sports teams.
Haley’s guilty pleasures are Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Her other loves include all things peanut butter, Star Wars, mathematics, and travel. Past day jobs vary tremendously from an elementary special-education para-professional, to a YMCA sports director, to a retail store accounting department, and finally a high school mathematics teacher.
Haley resides with her husband and fur-baby in the Des Moines area. This Missouri-born girl enjoys the diversity the Midwest offers.
