Sometimes You Fall

They used to call me one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time. Now someone is about to call me ‘Dad.’ Losing my major league baseball career led me back to my hometown with a chip on my shoulder and no one to blame but myself. And even though I reluctantly just agreed to help coach the high school baseball team, my life felt flat. But when my crush from high school tells me she’s pregnant after one hot night together, my dull life from before becomes anything less than boring. Unfortunately, the way I found out was after her teenage son broke into my automotive repair business, making our relationship even more complicated. Scottie Daniels has always been the girl that got away. But now that she’s having my kid, the dream of a family with my dream girl becomes the only thing I can focus on. Can I persuade her to give us a chance at having a family? Can I get her son to let me in too? And can I also convince Scottie that sometimes you fall—but you can fall into the right place at the right time with the right man when it counts?
