It’s the start of a new season for professional women’s cricket team The Scorpions. 

Acclaimed batter Ellie, 32, is returning to the game after a long injury, determined to regain her form and her place in the England squad. This is her last chance, and she won’t let anything stand in her way.

Cricket fan Adam, 34, an artist and photographer, has followed Ellie and the team through highs and lows. He’s drawn to her talent, athleticism and public persona - but is content to be a face in the crowd, cheering her on. He’d never date a famous person, anyway.

When events on and off the pitch bring Ellie and Adam together, friendship blossoms, and their careers initially soar. Yet, with romance in the air, Ellie loses focus, jeopardising her dream. 

What’s more important to them both - love, or cricket?

"You immerse readers very effectively in relatable situations, allowing them to empathise with your characters. It’s impressive to be able to create that bridge between reader and character so consistently. As ever, your dialogue between characters flows and comes across as very believable and genuine. Your writing is often incisive, really hitting on real-life experiences so convincingly. It’s an engaging, enjoyable read with plenty of character. The funny moments stand out amongst more serious characters/themes." - Editor
