Can a summer fling last a lifetime?
When Jamie Lawson's dream of making it to baseball's big leagues crumbles in the wake of a devastating accident, he returns to small-town Minnesota to rebuild his life. Years later, his world has settled into a steady rhythm-until a community softball game brings Kira Walker into his life.
Recently divorced and trying to rediscover herself, Kira is only in town for the summer. She never expected to find herself captivated by the local umpire with a mysterious past.
Their chemistry is undeniable, sparking a summer fling neither of them saw coming. But as their connection deepens, Jamie still wrestles with the memories of the tragedy he's never fully forgiven himself for-and the suspicion that maybe he doesn't deserve the love that Kira offers.
Will he risk his heart for life's biggest curveball-love?
You'll love Calling the Curveball if you enjoy heartwarming, inspirational love stories with small-town charm and wounded heroes; forgiveness/redemption themes; slow-burn relationships; or summer fling-to-more.
This novel is part of a larger series but can be read as a standalone.
Steam level: Mild intimate scenes
Calling the Curveball explores healing, resilience & forgiveness but addresses difficult experiences that may be triggering for some, including the loss of a spouse.
