Description

Lacey Logan is one of the biggest pop stars in the world—but sometimes her life doesn't feel like it belongs to her anymore.

With four chart-topping albums and millions of fans following her every move, Lacey has mastered the art of controlling her public image. Every photo, post, and appearance is carefully planned to keep at least part of her real life private.

Then she discovers her boyfriend has been hiding two devastating secrets: a cocaine addiction and another girlfriend who's pregnant.

Enter Jimmy Hodges.

Jimmy is a Major League Baseball player and former Rookie of the Year whose biggest days in the spotlight may already be behind him. With his shaggy beard, unfashionable clothes, and laid-back personality, he's nothing like the polished men Lacey usually surrounds herself with.

Maybe that's exactly what she needs.

A chance encounter at a bar turns into undeniable chemistry, and soon Lacey is taking risks she never would have allowed herself before. But when you're an international pop star dating a professional athlete, even something real can quickly become another story for the public to consume.

Lacey and Jimmy couldn't be more different, but away from the cameras, they may discover something neither expected: a relationship that doesn't need to be perfectly curated to be worth keeping.

Sexy, witty, and filled with celebrity drama, Heavy Hitter is a pop-star-meets-baseball-player romance about reclaiming your life, falling for the unexpected, and finding love when the entire world is watching.
