    Formerly known as Hall of Fame / Peyton loves baseball. Losing his ace pitcher brother turned Santiago away from the game. Can she make him fall for it again without risking her heart or future?
        
        ***
        
        Peyton O'Hare loves baseball more than anyone. Too bad she's a girl and can't pursue it professionally. Santiago Miranda has the game running through his veins. Too bad he's not interested in playing anymore since his superstar brother died last summer. 
        
        Peyton won't waste her senior year on pesky things like not being able to play for the school team, not when she can use Santiago to reach her dreams. Too bad she didn't factor in that he may be playing his own game, not with a baseball but with her heart.
