Opposites may attract, but their differences could turn the relationship into a strikeout instead of a home run.
Danae Collins’ stable, quiet life as an elementary school librarian is upended when she becomes the guardian for one of her students in foster care. She carefully plans for every contingency on the road to permanent adoption—every contingency except crossing paths with a famous baseball player.
Griffin West is the star shortstop and “darling” of the Kansas City Crowns baseball team. Everything is on the line as he returns to the major leagues after a season-ending injury. When Danae brings her new son to Griffin’s baseball camp, the tug he feels toward her is a curveball he never saw coming.
On paper, their lives seem incompatible. But as they spend time together, the safety they find in each other only deepens. Will real obstacles ultimately break or bond them forever?
Home Safe is an opposites attract, single guardian baseball romance for fans of meaningful contemporary romance. This is perfect for readers who want a closed-door sports romance with plenty of swoon but no spice.
He is a pro-baseball player who doesn’t like to read. She is a librarian who hates baseball. Let the sparks fly!
Expect:
💖 Opposites attract
💖 MMC- plays pro-baseball, doesn’t like reading
💖 FMC – school librarian, hates baseball
💖 No 3rd act break-up!
💖 The best side characters ever
💖 Happy ending
💋 Kisses only
🚫 No profanity
📚content: Childhood trauma, sports injury
Looking for the biggest green flag MMC of all time?
Meet Griffin. His family calls him as a “human can opener”, because he is so genuinely interested in others and such a safe person emotionally – that people open up to him.
I really connected with Danae, the FMC, is a school librarian who cares deeply about doing the right thing. She has a big dose of anxiety, an even bigger passion for books, and the biggest heart full of love. The more I got to know her character, the more I deeply respected her.
I LOVED how Griffin pursued and wooed Danae. He actively worked to build a healthy relationship with her. It was seriously the sweetest.
If you love clean, swoony romance- this book is for you.
Even you completely hate baseball, this book is for you too.
PERSONAL NOTE:
What initially drew me to this book is that Danae is adopting a boy from foster care. I’m a researcher at a non-profit focused on helping children in foster care.
The author’s accuracy about trauma & the brain was spot-on. AND she addressed it in the most sensitive and compassionate way. The way the science is naturally woven into a compelling and unforgettable story just makes it more meaningful and understandable.
Honestly, I wish I could give this book to every adult who cares for a child who has experienced trauma. (Which if you work with kids at all, statistically you are working with at least one kid who has experienced trauma).
Warning: This book may change your life.
– Kisses only
– No profanity
– Mild suspense & violence (PG)
