Noa Hart knows two things for sure.
She loves Hart Ball… and she should absolutely not fall for the Sharknados newest pitcher, Theo Durant.

As the daughter of the man behind baseball’s most chaotic, high-energy league, Noa has everything to prove—and no room for mistakes. Getting involved with a player is the kind of scandal that could cost her everything.

Theo Durant didn’t come to the Hart Sports League for distractions.
He came for a fresh start.

But Noa? She’s impossible to ignore.

Between cross-country away games, late-night practices, and a league built on spectacle and blurred lines, the tension between them turns into something neither of them can control.

Because some rules are meant to be followed.
And others are meant to be broken.

The question is…
what happens when they get caught?

About Me

Get To Know Me

Nicole Lenz, Contemporary Romance Author, Author of Finders Keepers

Hi, I’m Nicole Lenz! Romance author, hopeless romantic, and lover of emotionally gripping love stories. 💕 I write romantic suspense and rom-coms, crafting characters who fight for love, heal from their pasts, and find their happily ever afters, no matter what life throws their way.

When I’m not lost in my latest story, you’ll find me spending time with my family, sharing bookish fun on BookTok or sipping Breezeberry Alanis like it’s a personality trait. 

My books are for readers who love slow-burn tension, protective heroes, strong heroines, and small-town charm—with just the right mix of angst, humor, and spice.

If you love romance that makes you laugh, swoon, and feel deeply, you’re in the right place. 💙
