A Sports Romance

A Powerful Second-Chance Sports Romance

Where the Heart Is the Real Battlefield

Drama On and Off the Field

For veteran umpire Brad Perkins, baseball has always been the one place where the rules are clear, the lines are sharp, and the truth is easy to see. But off the field? His life has unraveled. Estranged from his wife Jeena. Distant from his teenage son. Haunted by the choices that broke his family.

High-Stakes Tension:

As the pressure mounts on the field, Brad struggles to stay focused—especially when game events trigger memories of the triumphs and failures of his own marriage.

Raw, Compelling Character Growth:

Brad’s discipline and dedication as an umpire contrast painfully with the man he’s been at home.

This book is your ticket to a front row seat that puts you dead in the heat of a contested ballgame and in the middle of a marriage struggling to survive.

"This is a fun, unique book. One one hand, it's a romance novel, with plenty of spicy scenes to heat up the pages. On another hand it's a baseball story, with lots of interesting details about the life and stresses of umpires." - Wayne Faust
