Three balls.

Two strikes.

One chance left.

Will they risk it all for love, or walk away before a viral scandal costs them both the game?

Evan Delgado can handle pressure. He’s built a career on control, and a life behind walls high enough to keep the past out, the pain buried, and anyone who might matter at a distance.

Then CJ Hartman gets traded to San Diego.

Seven years ago, CJ was Evan’s best friend, secret love, and the person who broke his heart. Now he’s a World Series champion, the Barracudas’ newest outfielder, and impossible to avoid.

CJ never planned to end up on Evan’s team. He never planned to share a clubhouse, a city, or a season with the only person he ever loved. Only this Evan is colder, sharper and harder to reach. But that won’t stop CJ from trying to fix what he destroyed now that they’ve been forced together again.

Same team. Same clubhouse. Same unfinished history. Their old chemistry simmers beneath every conversation, every accidental touch, and every memory they swore they’d buried, making it impossible to ignore what still burns between them. 

CJ never stopped loving Evan. Evan never forgave him for leaving. And as the season unfolds, they’ll have to decide whether some risks are worth taking twice. 

Coming October 20, 2026!

Some promises are meant to be broken.

Dominic Rizzo plays professional baseball, has a large Italian family with no understanding of inside voices or boundaries, and his best friends are a pair of reformed idiots in love. At twenty-four, he’s focused on baseball and having a good time.

Until his ex-girlfriend shows up with a newborn she claims is Dominic’s and then walks away.

Suddenly, Dominic’s life is middle-of-the-night feedings, road trips with a diaper bag, and a baby girl who deserves everything he has to give. Between baseball and Lucia, every hour of his life is spoken for, and there’s no time left over for dating or distractions.

But then the contractor Dominic hires to renovate his home shows up looking like something he doesn’t have time to want.

Gavin Carter knows how to build a home. He also knows how quickly one can disappear. After a wildfire destroys his house, business, and marriage, Gavin starts over in San Diego with smaller jobs and fewer expectations.

A gorgeous baseball player with an unfiltered mouth and a baby tucked against his chest has no place in Gavin’s new, careful life.

Between road trips, kitchen kisses, and evenings spent listening for the baby monitor, keeping things casual becomes impossible. When Dominic’s and Gavin’s pasts come calling, will their desire for each other survive the final inning?
