| Publisher Description: Rose Duncan is dancing on Broadway. She's spent hours a day for the last two decades to get there, and now she's living the dream. She's happy, she's driven, and life couldn't get any better. Ben Falco is a pitcher whose only goal is to make it to the Major Leagues. He keeps his grades up, he doesn't party, and he stays away from committed relationships - they'll only distract him. But when Ben meets Rose, she's no dancer, and she's certainly not happy. In fact, she doesn't seem to be living at all. Yet something about her makes him want to know what's turned her into this shell of a person, and if he can be the one to reach inside her mind and pull her out. Ben doesn't want a relationship. Rose doesn't want to get better. But once their hearts collide, it's a whole new ballgame. Reaching Rose is a story about Rose and Ben, and a little about their friend Johnny Gleason - a genius who has plans of his own until they too slip from his grasp. This is a tale about love, loss, and guts, and the ability to play hardball when life throws you a curve. |
