Three sisters. Three teammates they were never supposed to touch. One baseball season that rewrites every rule in the playbook.
The Kingsley Cougars play hard on the field and harder off it—but every man on that roster knows the unwritten rule: don’t date your teammate’s sister. The problem is the sisters keep showing up.
A sports branding designer agrees to a no-strings arrangement with the star pitcher and discovers that three years of 2 AM texts were the longest foreplay of her life. A woman who spent six months watching from section 115 finally corners the outfielder in a parking lot and demands a yes or no. And a photographer stages a fake relationship with her brother’s best friend to stop the meddling—then watches the lie burn down everything it was supposed to protect.
The dugout empties. The press conferences go viral. And three couples rewrite the Cougars’ rulebook with something no contract clause could cover—love.
Book 1 — Batting Practice (Ivy & Cole)
“She’d been answering his 2 AM texts for three years. She never planned on answering the door.”
Ivy Hartley designs the Kingsley Cougars’ brand by day and texts their star pitcher by night—three years of late-night conversations that never crossed a line, because Cole Brennan is her brother Trent’s teammate and the one man she cannot have. Then Cole shows up at her door with a breakup, a bottle of confusion, and a proposition: friends with benefits, strict rules, no feelings. Ivy agrees because she’s spent three years pretending she doesn’t have any.
The rules last about a week. Cole pitches better when Ivy’s in the stands—Dev’s analytics prove it—and Ivy stops pretending the sleepovers are casual when Cole starts remembering her coffee order and showing up with Thai food at midnight.
But when Natasha, Cole’s ex, manipulates photos that go viral and Ivy overhears what sounds like a public dismissal, she does what she’s always done: blocks, deletes, disappears. Cole’s pitching collapses. And he realizes that the only pitch that matters is the one he makes on live television—a public confession that risks his contract, his roster spot, and everything except the truth.

Book 2 — Stealing Home (Harper & Owen)
“Six months of watching from section 115. One parking-lot ultimatum. And a secret that blows up on the jumbotron.”
Harper Brooks has spent six months watching Owen Reed from the stands—cataloguing his at-bats, memorizing his routines, and pretending the ache in her chest is just team loyalty. Owen is an outfielder on the Kingsley Cougars and her brother Jax’s teammate, which makes him the one man in the stadium she’s not allowed to want. Then Harper stops waiting. She corners Owen in the parking lot after a home game and demands a yes or no—and Owen says yes.
What follows is a secret romance built on stolen nights, borrowed shirts, and a shared apartment after Owen’s place floods—until Jax discovers them and detonates. He exposes the relationship in the team group chat. Gemma Cruz, a sports journalist, publishes an article that turns private love into public scandal. Coach Ramsey benches Owen.
Harper’s instinct is to pack and disappear—and Owen’s answer is to hijack the championship jumbotron and declare his love in front of fifty thousand fans. Harper runs onto the field. Jax watches from the dugout and finally lets go.

Book 3 — Caught Looking (Sloane & Blake)
“She faked the photo to shut her brother up. She didn’t fake what happened after.”
Sloane Abbott is a photographer with one problem: her brother Tyler won’t stop meddling in her love life. So she stages a fake relationship with Blake—Tyler’s best friend on the Kingsley Cougars—to get him off her back. One staged Instagram photo. One whiskey-soaked midnight knock. And a fake relationship that turns real before Sloane can find the exit. The rule Tyler set at his own graduation—Blake is off-limits—was the first one they broke.
When journalist Peyton Shaw starts pulling at timeline inconsistencies and Tyler discovers the truth, the fallout is immediate: Tyler threatens to take evidence to ownership, Blake is benched during the playoffs and suspended indefinitely, and Sloane runs.
Blake’s response is a handwritten confession that goes viral—every lie named, every feeling claimed. Sloane reads it in a diner across town, walks into Tyler’s press conference uninvited, and tells the truth in front of every camera in the building. Tyler softens. Ownership reinstates Blake. And in the championship game, Blake makes the diving catch that wins it all—then finds Sloane in section 115 and puts a ring on her finger.
