Single mom, Megan Ross, loves her job with the Houston Astros. Handling player promotion, press relations, community events provides a steady salary so she can support her young son and herself. She’s shaken, however, when top management hands her a tough assignment--sweetened with a financial bonus. Her mission: Brian Delaney. Help the staff get this starting pitcher to be consistent on the mound. Which is tough to do when she thinks he’s a total screw-up, just like her ex-husband. Her unique background, however, might help make it happen. Still, it’s a long shot. And she’d sweat for every dollar of that tempting bonus if she takes Brian on. Talented Brian Delaney loves the game, the fans and having a good time. He can also pitch and thinks he’s in control. But sometimes, the past catches up with him… As for working with Megan? It’s a big joke. The woman’s like an over-wound watch, ready to spring loose. She’s been on his radar for a long time--hard to miss those fantastic legs –but he’s never made a play. Maybe his opportunity has finally arrived. The cool professional could use some shaking up. All he has to do is pitch his case and not strike out.
