Cold Ice, Warm Lies

Josie Reyes was going to be somebody's starting pitcher. Now she flips eggs and rents her old trophies to the town's booster club. Ellis Kwan was going to be the catcher who caught her. Now he's a rehabbing minor leaguer whose agent thinks a small-town comeback story will sell. The town of Sweet Briar Creek thinks so too, which is why the council assigned him to her Little League team without asking. Ten years, one shoulder surgery both of them regret, and an ankle-deep grudge between them — and every inning they coach together makes it clearer that walking out wasn't as simple as driving away. When the doctor who changed both their careers resurfaces, they have to decide if they're going to stop being angry at each other long enough to be honest about what happened.
