Klappentext When life throws you a curve ball...Venus deMarley has just been hit with a wild pitch. At forty she's finally found the perfect fiancé, when Sophie--the daughter she gave up for adoption twenty years ago--suddenly reappears. Venus has another crisis on her hands as well: her eccentric millionaire dad just died and willed her his pet project--a rag-tag minor league baseball team called the Bronx Cheers--if Venus and Sophie can reconcile and once again become a family. Venus knows diddly about sports, but Sophie's a jock, unlike her glamorous mom. And after two decades apart, these two women know nothing about each other, and rarely agree on anything. But maybe--just maybe--they have more in common than they think... Zusammenfassung When life throws you a curve ball... Venus deMarley has just been hit with a wild pitch.
