One Golden Summer — Jan McDaniel

As the owner of a winning minor-league baseball team, New Yorker Molly Gilbert is a big hit in the small Alabama town where she's relocated. Under her management, the team's success has revitalized the sleepy town, and everyone -- everyone, that is, except Shane Bradley -- thinks she's an answer to a prayer. Almost magically, Shane appears and comes to her aid whenever she's caught in a sticky situation. So why does he claim they're like “oil and water”? Still, he can't resist kissing her one night. But after that, much to Molly's dismay, he avoids her. It he involved with someone else?

Molly finds out the truth about Shane and the source of his secret pain but resolves not to get involved, not to get hurt. Can their mutual love of baseball bring them together, or will Shane decide to run away from any relationship. And can Molly be sure of her own heart?
