Shannon Morrison's dreams of becoming a lawyer are finally coming true. After landing a job at a prestigious law firm in Chicago, she's willing to sacrifice everything, including putting her personal life on hold, as nothing will stand in her way of making partner. Nothing except perhaps the gorgeous Detroit Rockets' All-Star catcher, Matt Buck.
Just when he didn't think his luck would turn around, life finally throws Matt a fastball right down the middle, reconnecting him with the one girl who has always intrigued him. As before, the timing isn't right, but Matt refuses to let this opportunity pass him by again. He knows Shannon's career leaves little room for anything else in her life, but he's unwilling to give in and will do whatever he can to make them work.
Together, Matt and Shannon struggle through one hurdle after another, determined to find a way to have everything they want. Just when they've finally figured it out, someone from Matt's past shatters everything, and leaves them both grappling to pick up the pieces...
