Softball and Stickups
(2025)(Book 12 in the Twin Bluebonnet Ranch Mystery series)
A Story by Brittany E Brinegar
Diamonds are forever. They’re a girl’s best friend.
Until you're the one accused of stealing them.
Summer in Texas means two things: blistering heat and competitive softball. For twin sisters Samantha and Lizzie Brown, the Lake Falls Panthers’ select league is their ticket to victory. But when a Texas Ranger comes calling, they find themselves playing defense against more than just rival teams.
A string of jewelry store heists has been plaguing small towns across Texas, and the one thing they all have in common? They line up perfectly with the Panthers’ travel schedule. As the season heats up, so does the scrutiny, with Samantha and Lizzie caught in the middle of a game they didn’t sign up for.
With a suspect list of teammates playing dirty and crafty criminals using the Panthers as a smokescreen, the twins are dodging more than just fastballs. But when every pitch threatens to strike them out of the tournament and land them behind bars, they must uncover the truth to clear their names—all while keeping their eye on the ball.
Can Samantha and Lizzie stage a comeback against the diamond thieves before they’re tagged out of the game for good? Or will this softball summer end with them caught stealing more than just bases?
----------------
Softball and Stickups is a stand-alone case in the Twin Bluebonnet Ranch Mysteries.
