Summary: Eliza Crowley is now to all as the Princess of Fairfield, a farm town in North Carolina that loves two things -- tradition and baseball. Although Eliza loves 'the game,' her life goal is to become a lighting designer on Broadway. Shaking off her reputation as the rich girl and focusing on her town's community theatre production are what she's set her sights on this summer, and nothing will stand in her way. That is until Reed Fulton, the grandson of a struggling Fairfield farmer, and ace pitcher of the Fulton Hawks, returns to town. Reed dreams of putting the catastrophe of last season behind him and leading the Hawks to a championship victory against the Crowley Cardinals. But when his childhood friend turned stranger, Eliza, strolls back into his life, she makes his heart accelerate quicker than his fastball, and he's not sure he can stay away from the girl he’s supposed to despise. As Reed and Eliza sneak around all over town, they know it won't be long until they're discovered. With everyone seemingly betting against them, Reed and Eliza's love may be doomed from the start.
