Calvin Swenson Junior is going home. But he's going back on his terms and for the only person who could have convinced him to set foot in his father's domain again—his grandmother. She was the one shining light in his childhood. The one who'd kept the home fires burning after his mother's death. And the last person he'd ever expect to be a conniving, manipulative liar who would actually pretend to be dying just to get him home! But that's exactly what she'd done. He could leave. Go back to the team or take a much-needed vacation. It would be what the old woman deserved for scaring him. Or maybe he should stick around. Find out why she was so desperate to get him back there. The chance to rekindle his relationship with Pru, the girl from his past, was incentive enough to stay awhile and he's glad he did because when Pru and his grandmother are kidnapped he's the only one in the position to save them.
