Major League pitcher Johnny “Rocket” Martin has lost it all—his reputation, his career, and maybe his future. Accused of steroid use, he heads home to Lucky for his grandfather’s funeral, hoping to escape the spotlight. The last thing he expects is to run into Lori Wilson, the one woman he’s never gotten over.
Lori has worked hard to build a life she’s proud of. After seeing the damage drugs can cause, she’s dedicated herself to educating others—and keeping her distance from anyone who might ruin her hard-won reputation. But when her son’s baseball hero turns out to be Johnny Martin, staying away isn’t so simple.
Fifteen years ago, they broke each other’s hearts. Now, fate—and a small town that doesn’t forget—are giving them one more shot.
In the game of love, everyone deserves a lucky strike.
Lucky Strike is a heartwarming small-town romance about forgiveness, first loves, and finding your way home.
