Delaney Kristoff is a lot of things: brash, sarcastic, and unapologetically herself. The Chicago bartender knows what she wants in life and just how to get it. No stranger to heartache herself, she keeps her interactions with the opposite sex to the hit-it-and-quit-it variety. She's perfectly content going it alone, just her and her trusty feline companion, Kingston-what more could she want?
Enter Samuel Benny Benjamin, the gregarious and lovable manager of the Chicago Foxes baseball team. Twelve years Delaney's senior, he's been around the block a few times and has the scars to show for it. After failing to lead his team to a World Series appearance yet again last year, the pressure on him this season is unbelievable. It's hard enough being a single dad away from his kids, but add in the weight of an entire city on his shoulders? It's enough to bring a man to his knees.
In an attempt to blow off some steam, Benny takes his bartender home for the night-it's just temporary, no-strings-attached fun. But the universe has a funny way of bringing them together after that night. Both Benny and Delaney are surprised to find the banter between them is almost as hot as the nights they spend together and the sparks keep flying long after their initial meeting. But with the pressure mounting on both of them, can they afford to give in to their feelings?
Now, the city might not be the only thing bringing them to their knees.
