Professional pitcher Ethan Ford plays the loner to keep his eye on the ball and his demanding coach off his back. His family is legendary in the world of baseball, and Ethan longs to make a name for himself. If he can prove his worth, this season might finally be his chance. When he slides into Ivy Johnson and her two foster children's lives, Ethan may strike out before achieving his dreams.

As a foster mom with a tragic past, Ivy Johnson only wants to give her kids what she never had--stability and a loving home. Their first meeting is less than ideal, but when Ethan Ford makes a connection with Ivy's shy, baseball-obsessed foster son, she falls head over cleats for the awkward, sweet pitcher.

Sparks fly, but life throws curveballs. With Ethan's career on the line and Ivy's future in flux, can the two hit a home run and become the family neither of them have but desperately need?
