A classic contemporary romance. Humor with Heart!

After the death of her husband, Evie Vaughn realizes her dream of becoming a high school teacher. She and her three sons move to Oak Grove, Iowa and become part of the community.

She's almost got the job in her grasp.

Then former pro football player Joe "the Iceman" Scalotta comes to town. He's just received custody of his teenage daughter following her mother's recent death and accepted a job at the community college

When Joe is offered Evie's coveted coaching position based on his notoriety alone, sparks fly and Evie proposes a test. Whoever's team wins the Big League Baseball championship over the summer wins the job. Though Joe doesn't want her job, he does want to keep an eye on the lovely Mrs. Vaughn. Especially since his daughter will be pitching on Evie's team.

After Joe discovers himself hornswoggled into coaching Evie's twin terror sons in T-ball and his daughter falls in love with her catcher, Evie's oldest son, the two of them wind up spending more time together than apart. And not just because of the children.

What is it they're really competing for? A job? Or the new life they've always wanted?
