Blake Conn-Hart spent years waiting for his shot.
After seasons in the minors and more disappointments than he can count, Blake finally gets the call to the majors. The night before everything changes, he meets a woman in a Worcester bar who makes him forget baseball for the first time in years.
By morning, she's gone.
No number.
No explanation.
Just a handwritten note and a name.
Claire Sullivan.
For two years, Blake tells himself to move on.
Then Claire walks into a Red Sox conference room. Except her name isn't Claire.
Her name is Madeline Davenport, the daughter of the team's owner, and the woman now running the organization's biggest community initiative. Worse, Blake has just been assigned as her primary player ambassador.
Forced to work together, Blake and Madeline find themselves caught between the people they used to be and the secrets they never explained. Because the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth:
The night they thought was over may have been the beginning of everything.
A slow-burn sports romance about second chances, mistaken assumptions, and discovering that the person you can't stop thinking about might not be who you thought they were at all.
