Is ending up in the same place as your first love a coincidence or a second chance?

Annie Campbell is moving closer to home to cover her favorite baseball team, the Griffons, as their sideline reporter. It’s the career move she needs, both professionally and personally. The only thing she wasn’t expecting is her first love and first heartbreak, Drew Davis, being the team’s new shortstop. Annie now has to figure out how to be professional… and how to stop lusting after the man she let slip through her fingers all those years ago.

How do you convince the one that got away that this time can work?

Drew Davis has made his dream of playing in the big leagues come true. Now that he’s being traded to the Kansas City Griffons, what he wasn’t ready for is the woman giving him his intro interview: Annie Campbell. The girl who loved him so much that she left so he could make his baseball dreams come true. What she didn’t know then was his biggest dream was never baseball—it was her. Now, he’s determined to convince her to give them a second chance.
