Torn between being the lady Mama wants her to be and the bowler Daddy dreamed of raising, Ashley struggles to find some middle ground when all she wants to do is be true to herself and land a strike.

                                                                              * * * * * 

Ever since she was a kid, Ashley has been torn between being the young lady her mama wanted her to be, and the tough, competitive bowler her daddy dreamed of raising. She tries her best to keep them both happy-she wears the pink frilly dresses Mama loves, tied at the knees to bowl with Daddy, but nothing seems to go right. Especially when her extremely cute arch nemesis Travis is around. Through school, her early twenties, a hot-and-cold romance, and family struggles, Ashley is forced to disconnect from her parents' version of her, reject the woman society wants her to be, and find herself by turning her small town on its head. Bowling is hard, but being yourself in a world that wants to keep you small? One of the hardest sports of all.

This isn't the story of how the city girl fell for the cowboy, oh no, this story was how the city boy fell for the home grown country girl. Harper was a single mother with a six year old son as her pride and joy. She owned her fathers old ranch as his last wish and lived an almost normal life. She had proven that she didn't need a man in her life after what had happened with her ex husband, but no matter what she did she couldn't seem to get away from his mistakes. She had known that he had had another child with someone else, but she had been unprepared for when that child's mother passed and how her ex was now getting out of county jail. She knew it wasn't her child, but the sibling of her only love Lucas. She was going to adopt that child and make a real home for her. Only she didn't know what a fight that would be. Caleb was an attorney from the big city of Detroit. He had been assigned to a case that brought him down to the sunny land of Georgia, with the heat and stetson hat fashion. Not knowing what all it would contain he was shocked to be faced with a fierce woman. Independent. A good head on her shoulders. Harper was all he could have ever wanted. He was struck with what he would have sworn to be lightning and wanted to know what made her tick under that gorgeously tanned skin. But they were from two different worlds. And he had a lot to learn if he was going to win over the country girl. Especially with him representing her ex-husband. Boundaries are made, lines are crossed...when family is what you have, its all you've got. Once you have it, you don't want to let it go. #1 in Country!
