Pitcher Us

Will Anderson has just won a World Series as a starting pitcher when he learns he is being traded to the Boston Blues. His catcher is traded with him, and so is the catcher's younger sister, Callie Reyer.

For a year Will has thought of Callie only as a teammate's sister. Her fiery personality has made him want to look out for her, though he has never had any reason to. Callie came to her brother's door with one rule: no more baseball players. She kept her distance from his teammates all season.

In Boston her rule gets harder to keep. She is now the team photographer for the Blues, and her new home is right next door to the team's pitcher. Will and Callie drift along the line between friendship and something more.

The obstacle is a team policy: dating a coworker at the Boston Blues is strictly prohibited. Each of them loves the job at stake, so the question is whether a relationship is worth losing it.

This is a contemporary sports romance told around a baseball clubhouse. It is a friends-to-more, neighbors-and-coworkers setup, with the attraction building in close quarters and the risk of being found out always present.
