Sports reporter Harper Nelson has spent far too long on the sidelines. So, when her boss sends her to Chicago to cover the upcoming baseball season for the Cougars, she knows this could be her last shot to prove to the network - and her parents - that this is where she belongs.
Now is no time for distractions, especially one in the shape of Jamil Edman - the hottest MLB player of the moment, and the man she woke up next to just a few weeks earlier. It's not that she regrets sneaking out, it's just that she wasn't expecting to see him again so soon . . .
But for Jamil that night with Harper was the first time he'd felt free in months. He might be coming into this season at the top of his game, but he's learnt that success comes at a price as he fights to keep certain pieces of his life out of the spotlight.
Soon, tensions simmer to boiling point, but will they end the season with a home run, or will they strike out?
