In the close-knit, competitive world of Snowtown's baseball team, Sharon finds herself at the center of a whirlwind of love, betrayal, and revenge. After Derrick, her high school sweetheart and star player, breaks her heart by dumping her for the flirtatious and cunning Cheerleader, Chloris, Sharon is determined not to lose him without a fight. Fueled by heartbreak and jealousy, she hatches a plan to win him back, one that tests her morals and loyalty to the brink.
 
However, one particular night, things go wrong, and she ends up sleeping with a total stranger, Douglas, who turns out to be the new coach of the baseball team.
 
It's a messy and manipulative game they play and it leaves its mark on them as well as those close to them. Sharon's desire to win Derrick back at all costs has led her down a path she never imagined, and now, with all that she held dear about to be lost, she must decide what's truly worth fighting for, herself or her ex-boyfriend. Will Sharon win back her ex-boyfriend's heart, or will Chloris just prove too much?

Love Catcher

When I got back to my dorm room, the walls seemed to close in on me, the air thick with questions I wasn't ready to answer. Tina's eyes widened when she saw me, her brows furrowing with concern as she glanced at my disheveled state.


"What the heck happened to you? And why are you dressed like that?" Tina asked, her voice laced with amused curiosity, but I couldn't bring myself to explain. Not yet.


I shook my head, avoiding her gaze. "Not now, Tina," I muttered, brushing past her. The words came out more curtly than I intended, but I was too drained to soften them. I needed space, needed to think. I took a quick shower, put on my night clothes, and climbed into my bed, pulling the covers up over me like a shield. I could feel Tina's eyes following me, but she didn't push further. She knew me well enough to recognize when I needed time to myself.
