This week we meet the Fastballer. Throws over a hundred mph. Just signed a big fat MLB contract.

She’s a billionaire’s daughter. A wild thing. Really likes to have a good time. The crazier the better.

They meet at a South Beach soiree and that same night she recruits him for a trip to Greece to attend a fancy destination wedding. 

What could possibly go wrong?
