A Powerful Second-Chance Sports Romance Where the Heart Is the Real Battlefield Drama On and Off the FieldFor 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. Now, under the bright lights of a high-profile game, every pitch, every play, every crack of the bat ignites memories-of the woman he loved, the son he lost touch with, and the home he desperately wants back. 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. With every inning, he confronts the moments that shaped him-and the ones that might still redeem him. A Sports Romance Unlike Any Other
