Intentional Walk — Lucy McConnell

Brayden Birks, starting pitcher for the St. George Redrocks, can't wait to propose to his girlfriend. Tilly Creswick may not be perfect; but, she's perfect for him. Tragedy strikes before Brayden can put the ring on her finger and he's stripped down to his core, unsure of his place in the world of baseball and his ability to be a good husband.Tilly wasn't looking for love. Love found her on a rocky outcrop one afternoon and it sank roots deep into her soul. Brayden may have broken her heart, but she's made of cliffs and mountains and desert wind. She'll weather through with the help of her friends, a matchmaking team owner, and prayer.As these two try to separate their lives, they're drawn together over and over again as if their love is written in the stars they spent so many lazy nights gazing at as they planned their future family. A fiery kiss from Tilly awakens Brayden from his post-injury fog and the first thing he wants to fix the biggest mistake of his life: intentionally walking Tilly. He'll go to great lengths to get her back, even if it means letting go of baseball and the dream he's carried for a lifetime.
