Taking a Second Shot

Can he convince her
that he's playing for keeps?
Struggling professional soccer player Rainey Allen has come to her grandparents' small town in Georgia to train-certainly not to coach kids. But when a grief-stricken little boy gets excited about playing with her, she can't refuse. Even if his uncle is Scott Wilcox, the source of Rainey's worst preteen memory. Once on track to be a professional athlete himself, Scott is grappling with his new life as the high school baseball coach and guardian of his orphaned nephew. But as playing soccer puts the light back in Henry's eyes, old wounds begin to heal. When Rainey gets her big break, will she give up on her dreams…or leave behind the family who stole her heart?
