I’ve been abandoned in Cooperstown, the home of baseball’s Hall of Fame. My fantasy date quickly turns into a nightmare. After a failed picnic lunch and an embarrassing fall, I find myself stranded and without a date at all.
Fate throws a curveball when retired baseball legend Tripp Shaneybrook steps up to the plate to save me, but I know he’s a player and I’m not about to be just another conquest of his that will end up on the front page of the local papers.
But the man doesn’t seem to understand that I don’t want his help. The harder I try to push him away, the closer he tries to get. But I don’t need a man to take care of me. I’m perfectly capable all on my own.
Except the longer I’m around Tripp, the more I like him and the more I want to bend the rules I’ve so carefully crafted to protect myself and my heart.
Brace yourself for a home run of emotion, suspense, and unforgettable chemistry as “Hit By His Pitch” steals your heart and keeps you cheering until the final page. Fall in love with a misunderstood playboy, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, and an unexpected romance that fits them both perfectly.

MJ Compton grew up near Cardiff, New York, a place best known for its giant—a hoax so successful, P.T. Barnum duplicated it. The tale of the “petrified man” convinced MJ that inventing stories could be a career.
Although her 30 years working in local television included such highlights as being bitten by a lion, preempting a US President for a college basketball game, giving a three-time world champion boxer a few black eyes, and meeting her husband, MJ never lost her dream of creating her own stories.
MJ still lives in upstate New York with her husband. Music and cooking are two of her passions, and she enjoys baseball, college basketball, and sitting on her patio on summer nights to count lightning bugs, but she’s primarily focused on writing.
