Chasing Headlines

They’re pursuing the same dream, but they’re playing for opposite sides.

After an angry outburst threatens his future in major league baseball, top prospect Breslin Cooper arrives at Texas State Tech on probation and under a cloud of controversy. With strict rules to follow and his scholarship at risk, his baseball career hangs in the balance in a remote corner of West Texas.

Olivia “Liv” Milline has always loved baseball, but her overprotective father, a former baseball executive, has forbidden her from pursuing her ambition of becoming a baseball scout.

Determined to stay connected to the sport, Liv finds another path: working as a campus sports reporter and investigating the stories unfolding behind the scenes.

When she decides to make the handsome, notoriously moody Breslin the subject of her next story, their opposing personalities quickly lead to conflict. Breslin refuses to cooperate, but Liv has no intention of backing down.

As trouble threatens his probation and baseball scholarship, however, Breslin may find himself needing Liv more than he’s willing to acknowledge.

Their relationship is marked by hostility, undeniable chemistry, and the possibility of something neither expected.
