The Brooding Pitcher's Light
(2025)(The second book in the Thunder Creek Thunderbolts series)
A novel by Catalina Voss
Ryan Rodriguez is trouble in a Thunder Creek Thunderbolts uniform.
Court-ordered community service. A perfect fastball and an imperfect life. A reputation that follows him like a shadow through this small Montana town.
The last thing he needs is to fall for the sweet librarian overseeing his sentence.
Grace Miller has already loved and lost everything.
Her husband died a hero. Her heart died with him. Now she hides behind helpful smiles and carefully organized shelves, convinced her story ended at twenty-five.
The last thing she wants is to risk loving someone new—especially an angry athlete with father issues and a talent for self-destruction.
But when Ryan volunteers with Grace's teen literacy program, something shifts. He sees the kids others have written off. She sees the man he's afraid to become. Between story time and softball practice, walls crumble and hearts remember how to hope.
Ryan's fighting for his shot at the major leagues.
Grace is fighting to believe in second chances.
Both are fighting an attraction that could heal them or destroy the fragile peace they've built.
When Ryan's past threatens to ruin everything, Grace must choose: play it safe in her perfectly controlled world, or risk her heart on a man who might leave her broken again.
Can a brooding pitcher learn to fight for love instead of running from it? Will a grieving widow find the courage to write a new chapter?
Some love stories are worth the risk of everything.
