Out of Left Field by Audrey Lancho

She moved back home to raise a child. He came to escape the spotlight. Neither expected to find family, friendship…or what came next.

Kendall Tucker, a talented former interior designer, leaves Savannah for her hometown of Blake’s Inlet, South Carolina, to care for her eight-year-old nephew, Archer. Juggling custody battles, a sassy grandma, and Archer’s relentless antics, Kendall’s life is chaos—and that won't change if she doesn't fight for her dreams.

Then onto the scene comes Chip Spencer, a major league first baseman and recent heartbreak magnet, sent to town to lay low after a scandal threatens his career. Handsome, charming, and surprisingly patient with a student who struggles with baseball, Chip is just the kind of distraction Kendall doesn’t need—but also can’t quite resist.

As little league practices, decorating projects, and small-town misadventures land them in close proximity, Kendall and Chip resist a romance that makes no logical sense, all the while wondering if there’s a way for hearts that don't want to let go.

Full of heart and swoon-worthy moments, this is a story about family, second chances, and finding a life you never knew you were missing. Perfect for fans of Susan Mallery, Denise Hunter, and Jojo Moyes.
