Description
Home Safe is an opposites attract, single guardian baseball romance for fans of meaningful contemporary romance. This is perfect for readers who want a closed-door sports romance with plenty of swoon but no spice. See the end of this description for content considerations/possible triggers.
Opposites may attract, but their differences could turn the relationship into a strikeout instead of a home run.
Danae Collins’ stable, quiet life as an elementary school librarian is upended when she becomes the guardian for one of her students in foster care. She carefully plans for every contingency on the road to permanent adoption—every contingency except crossing paths with a famous baseball player.
Griffin West is the star shortstop and “darling” of the Kansas City Crowns baseball team. Everything is on the line as he returns to the major leagues after a season-ending injury. When Danae brings her new son to Griffin’s baseball camp, the tug he feels toward her is a curveball he never saw coming.
On paper, their lives seem incompatible. But as they spend time together, the safety they find in each other only deepens. Will real obstacles ultimately break or bond them forever?
Content Considerations: This story includes a child who is in process of being adopted out of the foster care system. As such, there are mentions of parental neglect, drug use, death by overdose, and incarceration. These mentions were intentionally kept minimal and vague. However, a child’s trauma responses to triggers are fully fleshed out on page multiple times. If reading those experiences could be personally triggering for you, please seek the opinion of a trusted friend or book buddy about whether reading this story would be beneficial or harmful for where you are in your journey.

Tracy Baack hits the ball out of the park (pun intended) with this sweet baseball romance!! She continues time and time again to write real and relatable characters.
Second guessing if you’re doing everything right or wrong in parenting was very relatable for me, even if I can’t relate on the adoption/single parenting front. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Danae and Griffin, but even more so Jason and Sam. I loved the character dynamics, especially of the side characters, they really brought another level to the plot.
Not a fan of baseball? Neither is the female main character, allowing readers with any stance on baseball to enjoy the read. I’m personally not a big baseball fan myself but that didn’t keep me from loving the plot, storylines, and characters!

Beautiful sports romance but this one is a bit more serious than the typical spicy sports romance books and I loved that. I loved the awareness of the foster care system and the compassion showed by our main characters. It brought a tear to my eye and I highly enjoyed and recommend this one.
