𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒃: 

In Cherry Cove, the rules don’t matter when the heart’s at bat.

It’s been two years since Cruz and his stepsister Ellery collided in Cherry Cove, Georgia, and the former All-American has used time, distance, and baseball to forget about the girl he could never have. With a future in the majors all but certain, he has one last summer to live it up with his brothers before life in The Show becomes a reality. And that is exactly what he intends to do.

With Elmhurst Prep now behind her, Ellery is ready to move on from the southern society she was born into and start a new life that doesn’t include pearls and polo shorts, but a cup of French roast and a good mixtape. But before she goes, she is determined to use her last summer among the polished and privileged to find out who is behind the smear campaign against her daddy’s memory.

When chance and circumstance throw Cruz and Ellery a curveball and bring their worlds crashing together again, the two must decide…sit on the bench, or step into the batter’s box and go down swinging.
