A Powerful Second-Chance Sports Romance Where the Heart Is the Real Battlefield Drama On and Off the Field For veteran umpire Brad Perkins, baseball has always been the one place where the rules are clear, the lines are sharp, and the truth is easy to see. But off the field? His life has unraveled. Estranged from his wife Jeena. Distant from his teenage son. Haunted by the choices that broke his family. "This is a fun, unique book. One one hand, it's a romance novel, with plenty of spicy scenes to heat up the pages. On another hand it's a baseball story, with lots of interesting details about the life and stresses of umpires." - Wayne Faust High-Stakes Tension: As the pressure mounts on the field, Brad struggles to stay focused—especially when game events trigger memories of the triumphs and failures of his own marriage. "What really kept me turning pages was wanting to know both how the game would end and how the relationship between the husband and wife turned out. A great blend of sports and romance that kept me engaged until the end." - Sarah V. Raw, Compelling Character Growth: Brad’s discipline and dedication as an umpire contrast painfully with the man he’s been at home. “It’s a sports romance with heart, some solid humor, and plenty of moments that make you want to yell at the characters and then root for them anyway.” – Mandi Chudzik This book is your ticket to a front row seat that puts you dead in the heat of a contested ballgame and in the middle of a marriage struggling to survive. A Sports Romance Unlike Any Other Duration - 4h 47m. Author - Stark Wilson. Narrator - Stark Wilson. Published Date - Wednesday, 14 January 2026. Copyright - © 2026 Thomas Nance ©.
