For the Win (Playing for Keeps) (Volume 1)

London Miller has one best friend. Words. She lives in the pages of the books she reads, preferring the safety of fictional worlds over the dark and scary reality of her own life. Books aren't her escape...they're her salvation. Cooper Montgomery has one true love. Baseball. When he's on the mound, throwing a pitch, the darkness of his world fades away. The game is something he can control, something he can count on. A twist of fate brings London and Cooper together, a curve ball that forces them both outside of their comfort zones. As they spend time together, a relationship begins to blossom and both of them start to believe that there just might be something bright and beautiful in their lives. However, the game changes when your heart is on the line. You have to play with everything you have for the win.
