Swing and Miss
(2026)(The first book in the Swing and Miss: A Hart Sports series)
A Story by Nicole Lenz
Theo Durant may be grumpy, broody, and stuck just shy of the big leagues, but when it comes to barnstorming, the wild, over-the-top wildly popular sport run by Hart Sports, he’s in his element. Or at least, he should be. Because while the Monterey Sharknados may be his ticket to a little glory, Theo’s biggest challenge isn’t the game… it’s the one person who could turn his whole world upside down.
Noa Hart is everything Theo isn’t. She's sunshine in human form, impossible to ignore, and annoyingly good at making him smile. She’s also off-limits; Theo promised her brother years ago that he’d never touch Noa, a promise that’s suddenly getting harder to keep now that the game has thrown them together both on and off the field.
Between high-stakes games, chaotic team shenanigans, and Theo’s struggle to loosen up and live a little, sparks fly where they’re least expected. And when the pressure of the league, and the lingering feelings of the past, come crashing down, Theo has to decide if he’s finally ready to break the rules… and maybe, just maybe, let Noa in.
Swing and Miss is a slow-burn, high-heat, age-gap sports romance about rivalry, promises, and learning to play your heart’s game.
