Out of Left Field

By Donise Sheppard

A single week.
A second chance.
A love she never saw coming.

After surviving her ex-husband's abuse, Sarah has spent years building a peaceful life for her two children. A disastrous date last year reminded her how risky it can be to let someone in. So when she literally bumps into pro baseball player Cole Howard in a hotel hallway, she's not expecting sparks or the gentle, steady pull that follows.

Cole is everything Sarah doesn't need: famous, fleeting, and far too charming for someone just passing through. But when he invites her to a game and connects with her children in a way she didn't see coming, her careful boundaries begin to blur.

One week. That's all she was expecting. But as old fears resurface and new desires awaken, Sarah must decide if one incredible week is all she'll allow, or if she's ready to believe in something more.

Because sometimes, love doesn't come from where you're looking. Sometimes, it comes Out of Left Field.

Out of Left Field is a slow-burn, emotionally driven romance with strong themes of healing, found family, and rediscovering trust after heartbreak. While most of the story leans sweet and heartwarming, it contains one open-door scene that is emotionally significant, sensual, and graphic.

Perfect for readers who crave emotional depth with a touch of steam-and one cinnamon-roll hero worth waiting for.
