Hometown Home Run (Hearts on the Sidelines, #2)

Kate

Between raising my daughter, running the library, and trying to stay one step ahead of the Cedar Falls rumor mill, I barely have time to breathe. Dating isn’t even on my radar until one night at Gordy’s, one too many tequila shots, and one bold decision turn into a friends-with-benefits situation with the high school baseball coach.

I never expected Cameron Wells to become the exception to every rule I set for myself. What was supposed to be simple turns into a deeper temptation every time he’s near me. He brings an ease into my life I didn’t realize I was starving for. He’s patient when I’m spiraling, warm when I’m guarded, and completely unapologetic about caring in a way that makes my chest ache. He makes my daughter smile and begins to dismantle my walls brick by brick.

Cam

Baseball has always been the love of my life. Then Kate Prescott shows up in it with her quiet strength, her soft smile, and a daughter who has me wrapped around her finger before I can catch my breath.

It was supposed to be easy, something we could both walk away from. Instead, it becomes the thing I look forward to more than anything else. She lets me into her world slowly, and every piece she offers makes me want more. And when life throws her a curveball she never saw coming, I’m the one offering a solution that risks upending everything—a choice that asks us both to blur the line between what’s real and what we’re only pretending to be.

Hometown Home Run is a small-town, dual POV romance about a single mom learning to trust again and the high school baseball coach who’s ready to prove love is worth the swing.
