Romancing the Zone

A successful business woman and single mother, Liz Elliott is fast approaching the age of forty. Her nineteen-year-old daughter Becca is a freshman at Chilton College in Ashton, Vermont. Becca also happens to be a rising star for the Lady Stingers basketball team - just as her mother had been twenty years ago. But back in those early days a dirty little secret had collapsed Liz's world - a secret she has kept hidden from everyone - especially her daughter. Now Liz finds herself accepting her daughter's challenge to return to college and finally earn the degree that has so long eluded her. As if that isn't enough, Liz has also somehow found herself back in the gym - and playing out her final year of basketball eligibility. Soon sparks fly when Liz encounters resistance from the new head coach, Sheridan Ross.
