Kate Foley's sister, Colleen, is killed in a car accident.  Kate is left with the responsibility of caring for her sister's young son, Ben.  At first she finds it very difficult because she was running a horse farm that wasn't making any money.  Her mother helped with Ben while Kate worked on the farm.  They told Ben that his father was dead.

One night, a man knocked on their door.  It was Marty Lockwood, a former boy friend of Colleen.   Marty stated that he came to see how Colleen was doing.  Kate informed him that Colleen was dead.  Marty made a point to tell Kate that Colleen walked out on him - not the other way around.   Marty recognizes Ben as the son of New York Yankees pitcher Daniel Montero.  Marty thought he had a really good plan to blackmail Montero.  Much to Marty's surprise, Montero was thrilled to hear he had a son.  A couple of years ago, he had the mumps and was told by the doctor that he would never father a child.  He looked at the photo of Ben and could see himself when he was seven year's old.  Once there was definite proof that Ben was his son, Montero wanted to be a part of Ben's life.

Daniel visited Kate and Ben.  Kate was not happy with his visit.  Daniel wanted to somehow show Kate that they belonged together.  Ben really wanted a father.  Daniel had to show Kate that he was falling in love with her.  Does he win her over?

This is a great romance story.  It has all the elements needed for a romantic novel - a beautiful woman, a handsome baseball star and a delightful plot.  If you are a fan of romance, this is one that you will truly enjoy!  Joan Wolf is an extremely talented writer.
