Haunted by her missing father and wishing her family would treat her like an adult, seventeen-year-old softball pitcher River Harte is most alive when she’s zipping the ball past opposing batters. She’s thrilled when she earns a scholarship to play for her dream coach, but after arriving at college, she’s flustered when her math tutor turns out to be the hot guy she kissed over the summer.
Battling to keep her grades up and deal with a jealous rival pitcher, River has to dig deep to excel against the elite-level competition. But when tragedy strikes, and a suspension she doesn’t deserve fractures the squad, she turns to her enigmatic tutor and discovers a secret that might be exactly what she needs to get back on the mound.
