Baseball means everything to me. I've worked my whole life to make it to the majors, putting in the hours to improve my game, and sacrificing nearly everything along the way. Including being honest about who I am.

Then the rookie, Knox Singleton, showed up.

We told ourselves it was just a fling, that we were just having a good time. But it stopped feeling casual a lot faster than I expected.

When he got traded mid-season, I tried to play it cool. Pretended like I didn't have feelings for him. We agreed to move on, but I still thought about him often.

Now we're teammates again on a brand-new expansion team in Portland, and it's as though things never ended between us.

He's still the guy who makes everything feel effortless.

The guy I've never stopped thinking about.

This time, I don't want to hide who I am. I want him, and I want the world to know.

Just when I'm ready to come out, my past throws a curveball I never saw coming.

And nothing will ever be the same.

If you loved the Off the Field Duet and Dibs, you'll be thrilled to see Aron, Drew, Chase, and Gage back in the dugout as this new romance takes the field.
