Professional baseball player Dan Pelameno struck out with the woman of his dreams. So when she calls to set up an exclusive television interview with him, he jumps at the chance to set things right. He let her slip away once, but he won’t make the same mistake.
Celebrity news reporter Kendra Star thought she had moved on from Dan Pelameno until she had to see him again for a work assignment.

In desperate need of a life make-over after a terrible divorce, librarian Mallory Cruise signs up to coach her daughter’s recreational softball team. So what if she doesn’t have an athletic bone in her body? It’s the change her therapist suggested. There’s only one problem.
Her co-coach, Jason Henry, a widowed jock popular among the single ladies who’s made it clear Mallory grates his nerves. He’s an arrogant jerk who knows a lot about softball but nothing about women.
Mallory just needs to prove herself. And she does, in a horrible flip of the lineup that costs them the game. The softball moms band together and are ready to tie her to the fence during batting practice. They won’t stop until Mallory’s out of the picture.
And the only one who can save her is Jason.
Will Mallory strike out at coaching the same way she struck out in her marriage? Or will Jason rescue her when she needs it most?
Can he help her win it all? Samantha knows she has the talent to make her racing dreams become a reality. But competing for the Formula One world championship demands everything the seventeen year old has to give and more. The pressure brings out the demon that chases her on the racetrack. The demon Samantha created after she did something stupid behind the wheel. A demon she can’t defeat alone.
Manny told the girl she was being considered for his family’s racing team. But it was a mistake. He tries to fix it, but that girl shows up and causes a scene. Even shoves him out of the team’s trailer. But you know, what? Samantha isn’t that bad. Manny admires her confidence and tenacity. And her hair smells nice too. Like a fresh set of tires.
As Samantha fights for wins on the track, the two become best friends. But Manny realizes his feelings for her run deeper than that. If he opened up to her, would Samantha reveal the same feelings for him?
To become world champion Samantha must take on Spa, a racetrack nestled in the lush Belgian forest known as the Ardennes. As her car pushes two hundred and thirty miles per hour, Samantha must fight the men in front of her, the skies above her, and the demon inside her.
