It started as an act of compassion and a public display of affection.

Lacey Teague, blogger and public relations expert, saw a tall, hot man being pursued through the ballpark by the media, reporters desperate for a quote. When she recognized him as the Omaha Chargers new owner who had just lost his father and inherited a ball team, she decided to help out.

Sticking her hat on his head to provide some disguise, she wrapped herself around him and kissed him until the reporters went away.

Then she kissed him a little bit longer.

Jay Monroe isn't looking for a relationship. He's looking for some way to deal with the press, the only part of his new gig as billionaire owner of a ball team that he hates. When he gets kissed by the girl with the short black hair and the big green eyes who offers to help him overcome his fear of public speaking, he'd have to be insane to say no.

But as spring training progresses, their boot camp style relationship heats up fast and when an ugly problem surfaces between them, they don't have the resources yet to deal with it.

Is it the end of any hope for a winning season? Or can they turn the relationship around before the last inning?
