Scenes about a baseball player and his wife kept playing out in my mind. What if the absolute best night of a baseball player\u2019s professional career coincided with the absolute worst night of his wife\u2019s personal life? When I told my husband about the idea the next morning, he said, \u201cYou should write it.\u201d So that\u2019s what I did. I wrote the first draft years ago before I had my first publishing contract, so I joke that this story should be called something more like <em>First Love, Seven Hundredth Draft<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What inspired the personalities of your main characters, Gracie and Noah? What do you love about these characters?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think a little bit of the inspiration behind their personalities actually came from seeing the musical <em>The Last Five Years <\/em>several years ago when I was in college. I always wished there was a way for the two characters in that show to end up happily-ever-after together. Well, I obviously can\u2019t help those two characters, but I realized I could write my own story where two characters who share a similar drive to chase after their own goals and dreams even at the cost of their marriage <em>do<\/em> find their happily-ever-after back together at the end. I love how Gracie and Noah simply can\u2019t help themselves from loving each other, even when they\u2019re driving each other crazy. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What do you enjoy about second-chance romance stories?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the instant tension that sparks between two characters who share a romantic history together\u2014and Gracie and Noah certainly aren\u2019t lacking in sparks. Plus there\u2019s an element of redemption and forgiveness that always seems to go hand in hand with a second-chance romance. I don\u2019t think the world can ever get enough of that type of story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What will fans of romance love about the relationship between Gracie and Noah?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gracie and Noah can banter like nobody\u2019s business. And whether they want to admit it or not (for a while, Gracie definitely does not) they are without a doubt the love of each other\u2019s lives. Any romance fan who loves the idea of having a soulmate or one true love will adore the relationship between Gracie and Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Read this short excerpt from<em> First Love, Second Draft<\/em>:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The tingles grew sharper as Gracie held her nephew\u2019s gaze. \u201cWhat did you do?\u201d<\/p><p>When a throat cleared behind her, Matt didn\u2019t have to answer.

On thin ice with her publisher\u2014and with a looming deadline\u2014Gracie couldn\u2019t have picked a worse time for a painful injury that has her flat on her back. At this point, she\u2019d accept help from anybody . . . except her first love and ex-husband, Noah Parker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The baseball season has just ended in massive disappointment for Noah. He\u2019s facing the stark reality that he gave up everything for a career that\u2019s let him down and that it might be too late to get back the one person he should\u2019ve held on to. So when Gracie\u2019s nephew calls, saying Gracie\u2019s looking for a tenant for her next-door rental, it feels like it\u2019s meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Gracie cares about is turning in her manuscript on time, which is directly at odds with Noah\u2019s attempts to win her back, even if she is slightly charmed by his kindness. But can people ever really change? Then Noah throws a curveball that could give Gracie the extension she needs, but it will mean working directly with Noah, something she\u2019s not sure she can face. With no other choice, and everything on the line, Gracie must decide if it is too late for a second draft of their own love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/pic_FULL_Kinzer_Becca-3-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/pic_FULL_Kinzer_Becca-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/pic_FULL_Kinzer_Becca-3.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Becca Kinzer lives in Springfield, Illinois, where she works as a critical care nurse.
