Jaden Hawke is a young professional softball player who has just been signed by the Dallas Metros team. She graduated from Michigan where she led her team to two straight US Championships. She pitched for the USA Olympic team where they took the gold medal. While at the Olympics in Japan she met and became romantically involved with Senator Paxton’s daughter, Kendall. Jaden is given a contract by the Dallas Metros professional team because of Coach Georgia Tate’s support, even though her affair with Kendall Paxton is well known across the country. Jaden still has violent nightmares about the night when she had to rescue Kendall from drug dealers, and while on a team trip to that city she ends up having one. The team photographer and Web site administrator, Sloane Ellison, witnesses the nightmare and it’s aftermath. She helps Jaden deal with it, from holding her while she’s sick, to holding her while she sleeps. They are falling fast for each other. The night they play in Portland the police come to the locker room and take Jaden to the police station for questioning. Kendall Paxton was murdered the previous night while the team was in Los Angeles. Sloane stays behind to arrange bail and a lawyer for her and to lend much needed support. The team questions the advisability of releasing Jaden from her contract due to the conduct clause. Meanwhile, the police in California are working the murder case but the evidence doesn’t add up. Is someone trying to frame her for the crime or was she simply very good at misdirection? Who would know more about Kendall Paxton and her habits than Jaden Hawke? The more personal question is can Jaden and Sloane begin a relationship under such stressful times? And will it survive if Jaden is convicted of murder? - from Amzon
