The Coach's Unruly Heart

Cal Brennan has rules. Coach the team, keep his head down, raise his daughter right. He does not hire the daughter of the loudest woman in Sweetwater Springs as his assistant coach just because she needs the money. He hired her anyway. Sadie Reyes came home to save her mother's diner and her own blown-out knee, in that order. Coaching Little League baseball at her age is not the plan. Falling for a widowed single dad with a daughter who has already picked out the wedding colors is definitely not the plan. But Cal's grief is quiet and Sadie's life is loud, and somehow those things keep meeting in the same dugout. The town is watching. His in-laws are judging. His daughter is drawing pictures. And Cal has to decide whether keeping everything tidy is worth losing the one thing that finally feels like living. A small-town baseball romance with a single dad, a stubborn heart, and a happily ever after.
