The Last Pitch

Sam Campbell is twenty-eight, with a new job as physiotherapist for the San Diego Cubs and an apartment full of boxes she can’t bring herself to open. On the other side of the continent she left behind a relationship that ended in betrayal.

Kye Walker is twenty-nine, with an arm worth two hundred million and an elbow that’s been giving him trouble for months. Nobody knows, because he doesn’t confide in anyone.

On the first night of her new life, at a bar counter, Sam meets Luke: tall, gorgeous, and for the first time in ages she feels truly listened to. They promise each other something simple: friendship, sex (if it happens!), and nothing more.

Luke was the one unknown she had allowed herself. But when spring training starts in the Arizona desert, Kye arrives, the Cubs’ new phenomenon, and Sam’s lists stop being any use at all.

And some games are played until the very last pitch.
