LOVE'S HOME RUN
Set in Portland, Oregon, Love's Home Run is a contemporary romance where a young woman, DJUANA PIONEER, had given her heart, her love and her virginity to one man for seven years. When she told him about their pregnancy while out having dinner, he exploded in rage, striking Djuana and leaving her in the restaurant stunned and bewildered.
Djuana started off on a long walk home just trying to clear her mind and deal with the real, turning down an offer from the Matrie D to pay her cab fare home. She was 26, still living at home and the thought of raising her baby alone and on a department store's salary was frightening.
On the other side of the story is JACK NEWHOUSE, a major league baseball player, the best right fielder in the game, who has grown tired of easy women and wild sex. To the chagrin to his partying teammates, he wants to settle down and get married.
Jack had proposed to a woman he was steady with and she laughed. She chose to marry someone else.
Jack was speeding across the wet streets of downtown Portland, taking the long way home, with his window down allowing the damp air to cool his thoughts.
These two hurting souls would cross paths that night almost tragically at the intersection of tenth and Main and their lives would never be the same.
Jack fell in like immediately and pursued Djuana like a sharply hit fly ball in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded. He was set to go through a wall to be her man.
Pregnant, heartbroken and depressed, the last thing Djuana expected to find was the man of her dreams.
