Can a self-absorbed ballplayer learn what it means to be the kind of man who deserves the love of someone like Denny?

Joan Pahl's shot at the big time comes when she takes over Jayson Lambert's gossip column at the Courier—and she's determined to make the most of it, even if it means using her insider access at the city's hottest nightspots to fuel her stories.
