Love isn't a game. But, baseball, that's a different story.
After taking a job working as a social media and communications director for a AAA minor league baseball team, Laurel Sullivan crosses paths with first baseman, Rob Cooper.
For Laurel, she's been through the worst kind of pain when it comes to love. She's guarded, quiet, observant, and she has no time for love. Her plans including launching her career and living life by her terms.
For Rob, all he knows, or wants to know, is baseball. He works hard, plays harder. His eyes are set for the big times and doesn't plan on settling down with the typical gold-digging, plastic model types that seem to flock to baseball players. He wants something real, but that will have to wait.
Will they strike out or crush a life-winning homeroom? With the forces of nature at work, anything is possible, but never forget: diamonds are forever.
