They lost each other chasing their dreams. Now those dreams may be the only thing that can bring them back together—or tear them apart for good.
Erik Mendoza knows his baseball career is nearing its final inning. After years of sacrifice, injuries, and a marriage left behind, he has one last chance to lead a brand-new expansion team to the World Series. One final shot to prove that everything he gave up was worth it.
Yvonne Lopez is finally living the life she once put on hold. As a rising professional basketball star, she’s determined to protect the dream she nearly lost when Erik broke his promise to retire—and broke her heart in the process. She’s stronger now. Focused. Unwilling to let anyone derail her again.
But when Yvonne signs with a team in the New York metro area, fate throws them back into each other’s orbit. Erik shows up with an apology years overdue, a truth she’s waited far too long to hear, and a chemistry that still burns hotter than ever. He wants redemption. He wants her. And he’s finally ready to fight for the love he once let slip away.
Yvonne has rebuilt her life once. Trusting him again could cost her everything she’s worked for. But walking away might cost her the one thing she’s never stopped wanting.
Is this their final heartbreak—or the comeback season that gives them both the win they’ve been chasing?
