January 18th 2015 by Snug Corner Cove Press
Shunning all media attention, former All-Star pitcher Caleb Scott is focused on rebuilding his career in Japan, far from his past and the horrible tragedy that nearly ruined him. Then he meets Britt, who is everything he vowed to avoid.
But it doesn’t take long before Caleb is battling his attraction toward Britt. While she works to uncover his secrets, she can’t deny she’s drawn to his wounded soul. At a crossroads, Caleb must decide if he can break free from his past mistakes and give love another chance. And Britt must choose between advancing her career … or falling in love.

Heidi McCahan is a Pacific Northwest girl at heart. She spent her formative years in Alaska, where her unique upbringing, coupled with Alaska's breathtaking scenery, fueled her active imagination and loosely inspired her debut novel, Unraveled.
I am such a sucker for baseball stories. Especially baseball and romance. <sigh> I'm so glad baseball season is upon us once more. Yay!
This book took baseball to Japan of all places. Honestly, my brain has never really given much thought to baseball in Japan. It was kind of cool. I loved the change from the norm in baseball settings.
Both Britt and Caleb are full of life and energy. You can feel their emotions and struggles. I enjoyed getting to know them both through this book. There is obvious chemistry between the two of them but there is also a lot of resisting. Britt is trying to prove herself in the demanding and mostly man dominated world of sportscasting. She is focused and determined. Caleb is trying to play a game that he loves and hide at the same time. It isn't really working for him but he is also pretty determined to stay out of the public eye.
This is a good story, easy to read. There was a lot of back and forth toward the end that kind of drove me crazy. You know- yes I want you. No, I don't. Yes, I do. Well, now I don't. But, eventually I got to that happy place and I really enjoyed the ride.
Heidi McCahan is a Pacific Northwest girl at heart. She spent her formative years in Alaska, where her unique upbringing, coupled with Alaska's breathtaking scenery, fueled her active imagination and loosely inspired her debut novel, Unraveled. Heidi graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Sports Medicine from Whitworth University and a Master's Degree in Athletic Training from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. After a brief career as a Certified Athletic Trainer, Heidi married her husband, Steve. They currently live in North Carolina with their three boys.
When Heidi isn't stepping on Legos, chauffeuring the boys around suburbia or watching one of their many sporting events, she loves to read and write heartwarming romance.

I love romance, but I haven't read many sports+romance books. I'd like to try it out.
