It’s been a terrible winter, losing her playing form, her mental health, her boyfriend Matt, and her best friend, fellow player Brooke. On top of it all, she’s carrying an injury and can’t play. In many ways, she’s still healing.This would be a lot easier to deal with if she didn’t have to share the stadium with Matt.Matt knows it’s tough for her—but neither of them want to leave the club. He wishes he could turn back the clock, but perhaps he’s not cut out to date a professional athlete. If only he wasn’t working for her father, the Head Groundsman, who surely blames Matt for Eden’s emotional derailment.However, Matt’s biggest challenge might be to avoid falling for the Scorpions’ new recruit… Brooke. A rising star, she’s hot property… and has caught Matt’s eye. Unfortunately, she was the source of all Eden’s problems, including the breakup. If the two bowlers can’t repair their friendship, the team will suffer.If Eden can’t regain her mojo, her career might be over.And what of love?Seams impossible.

WICKET MAIDEN is a groundbreaking romantic comedy set in the world of women's cricket.It's the start of a new season for professional women's cricket team The Scorpions. Acclaimed batter Ellie, 32, is returning to the game after a long injury, determined to regain her form and her place in the England squad. This is her last chance, and she won't let anything stand in her way.Cricket fan Adam, 34, an artist and photographer, has followed Ellie and the team through highs and lows. He's drawn to her talent, athleticism and public persona - but is content to be a face in the crowd, cheering her on. He'd never date a famous person, anyway.When events on and off the pitch bring Ellie and Adam together, friendship blossoms, and their careers initially soar. Yet, with romance in the air, Ellie loses focus, jeopardising her dream. What's more important to them both - love, or cricket?A share of the book's royalties will be donated to pertinent clubs and organisations who champion the development of grassroots, girls' and women's cricket. The story echoes the film "Notting Hill" - the challenge of love between a 'star' and a 'normal person'. It's anchored by a strong female character that you'll root for in love and life, and a guy who deserves good things.The book touches on the good and bad sides of fame, and shines a light on women's cricket - the mental and physical challenges, pressure of relentless media attention, community outreach, fan engagement, and the finite nature of the career of professional athletes. Above this, it is, of course, a love story.The book is a slow-burn, non-spicy romance, and also includes neurodiversity and epilepsy representation.WICKET MAIDEN is the first in a women's cricket trilogy. "Are you ready to dive into a heartwarming sports romantic comedy that will leave you cheering for love and cricket in equal measure? With its unique blend of romance, humour, and the exciting world of women's cricket, this novel promises to be a delightful and uplifting read that will capture your heart from the very first page." "A fun will they won't they kind of romance novel. I really enjoyed being immersed into the world of women's cricket. It's an unusual backdrop but Harrison really made it work. Harrison is going on my list of rom-com writers - Wicket Maiden is a fab read and you don't need to be a cricket fan to enjoy it!"
