Noah Falcon is returning to Cricket Creek to do summer theater in a play written by hometown girl Madison Robinson. She left Cricket Creek for Chicago with her mom, Jessica, but is back trying to prove herself as a serious playwright. When Noah reconnects with his high school tutor, Olivia Lawson, sparks fly... and they're not all romantic.

Noah is a hometown hero, having made it big in Major League Baseball and as an actor on a well-known soap opera. But when his character on the soap opera is blown-up, he decides to take a change of direction in his life. He's not sure that fame and fortune is all they're cracked up to be. There must be more to life.

Noah and Olivia are thrown together as the leads in Madison's play, so they begin spending lots of time with each other. Olivia is very guarded about any kind of a relationship with Noah, but Noah seems to be falling fast for her. She just doesn't think this can end well.

Meanwhile, Madison is quickly falling for another local Cricket Creek hunk, Jason Craig. He's doing some remodeling at her aunt's diner and also working on the sets for her play. Madison is just looking for a good time, but Jason has something more in mind. Will Jason and Noah find what they are seeking, the one thing that really matters in life?

These two are PLAYING FOR KEEPS in this brand new Cricket Creek series by LuAnn McClane. This charming, romantic story is set in a small southern town that is drying up and needs something or someone to save it. You'll cheer on each of the characters, just like Cricket Creek cheers for their baseball team. This new series should be a real hit!
