Three strikes and you’re out is the rule in baseball. In love… I’m not sure, but with two strikes against me, I’m not about to swing and miss. One accidental collision off the college diamond and I find the woman of my dreams. She knows who I am—like most people at school—but none of it impresses her. Instead, someone’s been whispering nasty things about me in her ear, things I can’t seem to defend myself against before she’s gone. Without knowing more than her first name, Julie, and that her mom’s a chef, I can’t track her down to change her opinion. Not without proving all her accusations true. But Lady Luck is on my side. Another chance encounter gives me a second chance. This time I will not fail. This time I’m hitting it out of the park with a grand slam. I have no other option. Living without her love is non-negotiable. Hard Diamond is part of the F*** on the Diamond series and the More Family Dynasty where knowing you’re in love is easy, but getting the happy ending takes some work.
