Rule #1 of Natalie Ashford’s Single Mom Playbook: Never, ever fall for your kid’s babysitter.Especially when he’s a 22-year-old baseball phenomenon with scouts watching his every move and dimples deep enough to get lost in. But when Miles Jacobs-with his farm boy charm and morning coffee ritual-moves into her spare room, Natalie’s carefully constructed boundaries start crumbling faster than her resolve.Miles has his eye on one prize: making it to the majors. Babysitting a 12-year-old baseball fanatic? Just a means to an affordable housing end. Falling for said fanatic’s gorgeous, stubborn, entirely-too-old-for-him mother? Definitely not part of the game plan.Between morning coffee battles, early-morning dishwasher repairs, and the way Natalie quotes his batting average from memory, Miles finds himself rewriting his future playbook.At least until the MLB draft starts calling his name...A heartwarming, laugh-out-loud rom-com about finding home plate exactly where you least expect it. Because sometimes the perfect pitch has you Swinging for the Fence.
