Seams Like Love

Eden Palmer is starting the new cricket season with mixed feelings. It’s been a terrible winter, losing her playing form, her mental health, her boyfriend Matt, and her best friend, fellow player Brooke. On top of it all, she’s carrying an injury and can’t play. In many ways, she’s still healing.

This would be a lot easier to deal with if she didn’t have to share the stadium with Matt…

Matt knows it’s tough for her—but neither of them want to leave the club. He wishes he could turn back the clock, but perhaps he’s not cut out to date a professional athlete. If only he wasn’t working for her father, the Head Groundsman, who surely blames Matt for Eden’s emotional derailment.

However, Matt’s biggest challenge might be to avoid falling for the Scorpions’ new recruit… Brooke. A rising star, she’s hot property… and has caught Matt’s eye. Unfortunately, she was the source of all Eden’s problems, including the breakup.

If the two bowlers can’t repair their friendship, the team will suffer.

If Eden can’t regain her mojo, her career might be over.

And what of love?

Seams impossible.
