The Art of Catching Feelings BY Alicia Thompson

In "Love on the Line," a professional baseball player and his heckler discover that true love is worth going to bat for in the latest swoony romance by USA Today bestselling author Alicia Thompson.

Daphne Brink doesn’t care much for baseball, but attending a game beats staying home alone after signing her divorce papers. Fueled by one too many beers, she heckles Carolina Battery player Chris Kepler, inadvertently reducing him to tears. Horrified by her actions, Daphne reaches out to Chris on social media to apologize, forgetting to reveal she was the heckler.

Chris, reeling from a turbulent few months, doesn't usually reply to random fans. However, a DM from "Duckie" catches his eye. Duckie is sweet, funny, and seems to understand him in a way no one else does, and he impulsively messages back.

As Daphne continues to interact with Chris, she starts working with the team in real life, and their bond deepens. However, she struggles with guilt over her initial deception. As their feelings for each other grow, the looming truth threatens their budding romance. When Chris finally learns Duckie’s true identity, will it be game over for their relationship, or can they find a way to overcome the past and build a future together?

"Love on the Line" explores themes of forgiveness, vulnerability, and the unexpected places love can be found, offering readers a heartfelt and humorous journey through the ups and downs of romance in the world of professional sports.
