The Curveball, Wild Pitches Book 1
April 26, 2022
Penelope:
I love baseball. And I get paid to talk about it. Sure, I'm behind the scenes of the best baseball talk show on television, but that's where I'm comfortable. Where I'm safe. And then Jake Hutchinson showed up and I started dreaming again. Dreaming of so much more than being behind the scenes. He reminded me of why I got into this business in the first place. I was determined to put my head down and do my work, and not get involved...but the closer I work with him, the harder I fall...
Jake:
I was determined to come in and make a good first impression. Though, soliciting a free meal from my producer probably wasn't the way to do that. And then she started talking about the game I love, the game I played, and I was hooked. I could listen to her talk about baseball for the rest of my life. I can't get involved with my producer, can I? With her talent she won't be a producer for much longer, and what's life without a little risk, right?
The Curveball is a closed-door, friends to lovers, workplace romance featuring a baseball loving heroine and former baseball player hero. The Curveball is very much a love letter to baseball and the bonds created when it is shared. The Curveball also features #OwnVoices Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and chronic pain representation, written by an author who lives with PCOS and the associated chronic pain.
The Changeup, Wild Pitches Book 2
Available Now
Jenna:
The prospect of spending the summer with your best friend shouldn't be this daunting. But when your best friend is handsome, charming, and you're more than a little attracted to him, a road trip and summer spent sharing an apartment with each other isn't all it's cracked up to be. At least we have our research to keep us occupied, right?
Marcus:
I can't spend another minute with Jenna without telling her how I feel. How I've felt for so long. As a geologist, I know better than anyone that too much turmoil simmering under the surface will eventually find a way to be released...I just hope that Jenna and I survive this summer together. And even more than that, I hope our friendship survives.
The Changeup is a closed door, friends-to-lovers romance, with a heroine (and hero!) in STEM, road trip mishaps, and the baseball references and commentary you would expect from this series. The Changeup also features #OwnVoices representation, featuring a heroine with arthritis and chronic pain written by an author who deals with the same.
The Fastball, Wild Pitches Book 3
Available March 30, 2023
Amanda:
I hate flying. In fact, it terrifies me. But the cute stranger seated next to me on my first flight in five years helps calm my nerves and put me at ease. When I find out that he flips houses, it doesn't take much convincing to ask if he'll help me with the house I just inherited from my grandpa. It's not easy for me to put my heart on the line, and I don't know if I can take that plunge.
Again.
James:
There's nothing quite like breaking through the clouds into bright blue sky, but my seat mate might disagree with me on that. She's terrified. And I'm not going to let her go through this experience alone. When she asks if I can help with her house, of course I say yes. I'm intrigued and want to get to know her more. But when our shared past comes calling, I don't know if I can risk my heart.
Please be aware that The Fastball includes brief, on-page depictions of C-PTSD/flashbacks, discussions of anxiety, and mental health. Therapy sessions are depicted on page as well. The Fastball includes chronic illness representation in the form of food sensitivity and digestive disorders. This is a closed door, pen-pans to friends to lovers romance, with elements of found family and forced proximity. This is the third book in the Wild Pitches series, but can be read as a standalone.
