Another Misty Matthews’ Book to Read
Well, Misty and I have done it again!
Grand Slam, the baseball reunion story that was Misty’s brainchild, will be released on January 29, 2014, by Secret Cravings. This is a novella, barely 15,000 words, which deals with a secret, that once revealed, may change the lives of all those involved.
While it sounds odd to say it’s a sports’ romance, the truth is women like sports and women like romance. Why not write a story with a sport-playing hero? Baseball is the great leveller. It’s considered America’s past-time, but it’s popular all over the world. You don’t have to have money to play baseball–you need a stick, a ball and a field–preferably away from anyone’s car or windows. People–boys and girls, play ball in Japan as well as in Canada. Some of the best ballplayers come from the Caribbean–Roberto Clemente. During World War II, while the men served overseas, women picked up the slack and formed a professional baseball league. There’s an excellent movie, A League of Their Own, that tells the story. They even have their own display at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

Seven days under the Louisiana stars with major league catcher Justin Harris left Brittney James broken hearted and pregnant. Ten years later, her son has baseball in his blood and idolizes the last man Britt ever wants to see again. When she reluctantly agrees to take her son to a game, the worst possible thing happens . . . he catches his hero’s grand slam ball. Justin asks for a meet and greet, but Brittney is terrified. How can she face him knowing the secret she’s kept from him all these years?
Justin Harris’s first grand slam is one for the record books, but his biggest shock comes from seeing the woman he loved and lost ten years ago up on the stadium screen. The fact that her son caught the ball gives him an opportunity to renew an old friendship. How will he react when he learns Brittney’s secret?
