Fast-Pitch Love centers on 17-year-old Jace Waldron, who is hopelessly attracted to new-girl-in-school Stephanie Thornapple. But star football player Carson Ealy is already her boyfriend -- and he doesn't tolerate rivals.

Jace's hopes rise when he discovers that "S.J. Thornapple" will be an assistant for the girls softball team his mom coaches. By volunteering to be an assistant coach, too, he can make his move on Stephanie after Carson leaves for an out-of-town job. Unfortunately for Jace, his plans go awry and soon he faces the double challenge of coaching a team of mischievous preteen girls and learning there is more to romance than physical attraction.
