Carrie Aarons

Carrie Aarons moved from journalism into romance fiction, writing books that range from sports stories to small-town family series. Pitching to Win opens the baseball-centered Over the Fence trilogy, while Blind Landing begins the two-book Flipped gymnastics series. Forgiven is the second of four linked Nash Brothers novels, and The Lion Heart occupies the same position in the soccer-focused Rogue Academy trilogy. If Only in My Dreams is a later standalone. Across these settings, Aarons builds stories around ambition, career pressure, homecoming, and relationships tested by old choices. Her official bibliography also includes the Callahan Family, Prospect Street, and Ashton Family series, showing how frequently her standalones and connected novels move between professional competition and close-knit communities. Those contrasts give her connected stories different pressures and rhythms.
