Swinging for the Deep End
A single mom working as a lifeguard.
An injured baseball player caught up in a social media scandal.
PIPER
My days consists of getting my son ready for school, dealing with my bird obsessed neighbor, and monitoring a handful of elderly women during their aquatic aerobic class.
So what’s my reaction when my boss tells me some famous baseball player is going to need to use the pool at his disposal and I’m the one who has to accommodate his every need?
Cursing. Attempting to quit.
I don’t care how popular or rich Cutter Buckley is, he’s in my town and he’s trying to use my pool.
He can try the nice guy act all he wants when he helps me get my car fixed when it won’t start, or hang out with my son in an arcade… but I know better.
He’s only here for a short time. Yet every second spent near him feels more and more like uncontrollable temptation.
CUTTER
My entire career has been built from controversy. So when a video goes viral involving me giving an autograph and a car crashing with rumors that caused it all on purpose, my agent suggests I disappear and let things blow over.
I end up in a small town with the sole purpose of using the indoor pool to continue my rehabilitation for an injury that’s kept me off the baseball field for far too long.
I’m used to getting boo’ed. I’m used to being the bad guy.
So when I meet the lifeguard at the pool and she’s colder than an icy road in winter, it doesn’t bother me.
She’s also stunning. She’s mean. Fierce. Did I mention she’s beautiful?
The more I learn about Piper, the more I want. The more I crave. The more I desire.
Another scandal begins to brew and what should be an easy decision to leave this small town is becoming one of the hardest decisions of my life.
Leaving Piper and her son behind feels impossible to do.
