Calling the Curveball — Tracey Cramer-Kelly

Striking Out…

Jamie Lawson always believed he'd make it to baseball's big leagues, but when a tragic accident leaves him maimed, and his wife dead, Jamie heads back to his small Minnesota hometown with his dreams shattered. Six years later, he's opened his own chiropractic clinic, but guilt and grief still haunt him. The closest he comes to baseball these days is coaching little league and umpiring for the town's Fourth of July softball tournament. He certainly doesn't have room in his life for the pretty stranger who shows up at the tournament and then boldly asks him on a date.

The Boys -- and Girls -- of Summer

After an ugly divorce, grade school teacher Kira Walker needs a break to reassess her life and come to terms with being single. Spending the summer with her sister, she attends the holiday softball tournament. But how can she keep her mind on the game -- and her goals -- when the umpire is such a distraction? She might be up for a summer fling if it was with Sexy Umpire Man.

Sliding into Home…

Kira's got her own share of past hurts, but as the summer -- and the romance -- heats up, her playful nature coaxes Jamie into rediscovering parts of himself he thought he'd buried with his wife. Kira has thrown Jamie a curveball. Will he let her walk, or will he embrace the possibility that his glory days just might be in the future, with Kira?
