Cameron Shaw, a former rising star in baseball, has one goal in life: to coach professional ball. As the current graduate assistant for the esteemed Saint Helena University baseball team, he has the next twenty years of his life planned to the last detail, and he intends to follow that plan, no matter the cost.
On top of working himself to the bone for a shot at the Majors, Cameron also takes on another great feat: coaching a ragtag team of recreational youth baseball kids. Between both teams, the pieces of the twenty-year puzzle are falling into place, but he never planned for fun-loving Norah Young to be a part of it.
Norah also has one goal: revel in her last few weeks of freedom before graduation, when she will be thrust into the throes of Corporate America. After a drunken and unfortunate night lands her in the strong arms of the oh-so-hot but surly baseball GA, she has even more items on her scant to-do list.
First, survive Senior year. Second, make it to the College Softball World Series. Third, uncover Cameron's past and find out what exactly stole the promising young player's talent and smile.
Brooke is a different girl. She was raised in and out of foster homes. Most children raised in and out of foster homes end up working at low-life places their whole life, but Brooke refused to let her situation and how much she hated her life dictate her future and how she could, and would, one day be happy. She worked as hard as should could to keep her perfect grades, and when the time came to apply to colleges, she had so many scholarships that she had everything paid for, even her textbooks. She got into Stanford, and fought hard to get on the Baseball team. Everyone was against it. Girls should be on Softball. So when she goes to tryout for the Yankees, the whole team is against it.
Until she hits the ball into the stands.
Her essence attracts the guys to her, but they hate the thought of a girl on their team.
Eventually, a wonderful guy will enter her life, addicted to her essence and her will and how mesmerizing she is.
Will Brooke be able to accept that somebody could actually like her for something other than her looks?
