Synopsis

They’re chasing the same dream. Too bad they’re not on the same team... After a heated outburst ruins his major league baseball prospects, Breslin Cooper lands at Texas State Tech with a probation sentence and a bad rep. With obligatory therapy, campus rules, and scouts steering clear, his baseball career is on the thinnest of thin ice–in a West Texas desert. Olivia "Liv" Milline lives and breathes the game—but thanks to her overprotective baseball-exec father, she’s banned from pursuing her dream of becoming a baseball scout. Her workaround? Becoming a sports reporter on campus, and chasing stories behind the scenes. When Liv sets her sights on the notoriously moody, attractive Breslin as her next big story, things spiral fast. He’s not talking, and she’s not backing down. But when trouble threatens his probation and baseball scholarship, Breslin might need Liv more than he wants to admit. Enemies? Check. Chemistry? Explosive. A headline-worthy mess in the making? Absolutely.
