À propos de cet ebook
Clancy Makem has played for the Brookeville Scorpions for the past seventeen years and is considered the century's best shortstop. After he tears his ACL for the fourth time, his career falls apart, and the team's surgeon gives him no choice but to retire. At thirty-eight, he finds himself without a job, so he decides to return to college to get the degree he'd put on hold. With that fourth surgery looming on the horizon, he's also in need of a temporary caregiver, something -- someone -- he's unwilling to accept. Clancy's teammates, who love their former shortstop, are willing to do whatever it takes to get rid of this person.
Charles Newton is a mathematical genius who had two master's degrees under his belt by the age of eighteen. Now twenty-one, he has a doctorate waiting in the wings, only he finds himself burned out and with no desire to defend his dissertation. Even in the face of being disowned by his overbearing mother, he's willing to walk away from academia. He's in need of a job, and fortunately he's offered one as a temporary caregiver to Clancy Makem -- a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone who's secretly a baseball aficionado.
Will Clancy welcome Charles -- supposedly clueless when it comes to baseball -- into his home, or will his teammates succeed in running the younger man off? Will Charles get the chance to work with the man he's admired for years? And who is this person they refer to as Chuck?

Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Tinnean has been writing since the third grade, where she was inspired to try her hand at epic poetry. Fortunately, that epic poem didn't survive the passage of time; however, her love of writing not only survived but thrived, and in high school she became a member of the magazine staff, where she contributed a number of stories. Starting a family resulted in writing being set aside, although throughout those years Tinnean did continue to keep a journal. Once the kids were old enough to do their own thing, she was able to dabble in writing again. It was with the advent of the family's second computer -- the first intimidated everyone -- that her writing took off, enhanced in part by fan fiction, but mostly by the wonder that is copy and paste. While involved in fandom, she was nominated for both Rerun and Light My Fire Awards. Now she concentrates on her original characters and has been published by Nazca Plains, Dreamspinner, and JMS Books. Tinnean is what you might call a hopeful romantic, and if you see her name on a story, it will have a happy ending. Her signature line, a quote by Ernest Hemingway, says it all: "Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it." A New Yorker at heart, she resides in SW Florida with her husband and two computers.
