Coming Up Clutch

By Ana Hartnett

College freshman Kelly "Razor" Mitchell boldly asked out senior star pitcher Ashton Sharpe and was crushed when Ashton turned her down. Seven years later, Ashton is one of the team's coaches and shows up on Razor's doorstep asking her to don her gear once more. Razor is cautious. She hung up her cleats early for a reason. But Ashton is very persuasive and as beautiful as ever, and Razor can't help but hope the longing in her gaze has nothing to do with softball.

Ashton has few regrets, but one is turning down Razor's request for a date back in college. Ashton can't think about what-ifs now, or how great Razor looks, or her dormant feelings stirring. A crisis has left the university softball team without a catcher, and their best solution is the one person Ashton never expected to see again.

Ashton and Razor's coach-player dynamic gets tricky as the sparks fly faster than a line drive. As they struggle with old feelings and new discoveries, the season seems endless. Plus, Razor is sure Ashton won't want to explore romantic possibilities once she discovers the real reason Razor abruptly departed the team all those years ago.
