Home Run Summer

Will Penny score big this summer, or strike out yet again? Penny Park has had a rough year. After a catastrophic friend breakup and being forced to live with her estranged roommates, Penny is more than ready to wrap-up her sophomore year of college and escape to the only place she's ever felt at home: Cape Cod. Even though she didn't get her dream internship of being a side-line reporter for the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League, Penny can't wait to spend three months in her quaint beach house surrounded by country music, homemade clam chowder and her oldest friends. She's expecting a summer just like any other, until a foul ball nearly misses her head, and the player who hit it steals her heart.Maverick Blue is one of the best college baseball players in the country. He lives for the satisfying sound of a wooden bat connecting perfectly with the leather of a baseball, and the feeling of a glove on his hand. He has dedicated his entire life to the sport, but he's done it on his own. Despite his success, his family doesn't believe in him quite as much as everyone else does. So when Mav gets invited to play summer ball on Cape Cod, he knows it's his chance to not only prove himself as a top draft pick to scouts, but also as worthy to his parents. He's planning on spending every waking moment of the next three months thinking about nothing but baseball, until a face in the stands catches his eye and a girl changes his life.Through a summer like no other, Penny and Mav learn that a home-run doesn't always make a win, that one summer doesn't always make love. That just like the game they love so much, life is full of romance and heartbreak. And there can only be one winner.
