The Problem with Sports

Just sports? Is it really just sports we’re talking about here?

Nathan Hayes sure doesn’t think so. At thirty-three, Nathan is a retired professional baseball player, and looking at him, you can’t help but think of sex, sinning, and…uh, baseball bats, if you get my meaning.

Single, gorgeous, and with too much time on his hands, Nathan develops an unlikely friendship with an eight-year-old boy, who happens to come with a mother who tends to turn Nathan stupid.

Just Sports? Is it really just sports we’re talking about here?

Andrea Miller sure thinks so. At thirty, she’s written a couple of books, but was a book editor by trade, and looking at her, you’d think she had success in the bag. She called her own shots, for Pete’s sake.

However, with a divorce under her belt, a child with health problems, and an ex-husband she was still trying to work with, Andrea doesn’t have time to get involved with an ex-baseball player who might be a bit crazy.

When Nathan overhears Andrea’s son prattle on about how Nathan Hayes, the recently retired Condors shortstop, is just good, Nathan can’t help but feel it’s his duty to set the kid back on the right path. And that’s how he finds himself at Andrea Miller’s front door.

Between a kid who knows more about sports and anyone should know, an ex-husband who is still very much in the picture, a pro-one-night stand best friend, two idiot brothers, and cupid working overtime, Nathan and Andrea have their work cut out for them.

Together, they do their best to navigate what is going on between them, but with Andrea reluctant and Nathan crazy, it is definitely not smooth sailing. But even if the waves do threaten to take them under, drowning in emotions so explosive never felt so good.
