One bed, two players, and another chance in this steamy standalone sports romance…
After how this season has gone so far — don’t ask — the last thing I need is a distraction.
Like, say, my spring training one-night stand showing up in my dugout. If it’s not annoying enough that the hot new shortstop with the heart-stopping smile has been traded to my team, the golden guy now needs a place to stay.
When one of my big-mouthed teammates suggests the new star player shack up in my spare room, I’ve got myself a helluva problem — and it’s getting bigger with my eager, interested, and too-sexy teammate sharing my kitchen, my shower…and then, late one night, my bed.
But before I know it, all these late nights together are making me want things I just can’t have with my teammate.
And if I’m not careful, he’ll be stealing my heart too…
A scorching hot, only-one-bed-in-the-room/teammates-to-lovers, second chance standalone romance…
KD CaseyKD Casey is a passionate baseball fan, including of women’s baseball. She primarily writes queer Jewish romance. Her writing has been featured in Baseball Prospectus, the BP Annual, the Hardball Times, and other baseball-writing venues.
A spring training hook-up ends and two guys move on back to their teams and lives...or so they thought.
Derek Miller is a star shortstop for the Seattle Pilots. He is fun, self-assured, cocky, playful, and the team captain.
Adam Chason is a shortstop for the St. Louis Arches. A good player on a losing team and the guy next door. He is genuinely nice but kind of quiet and shy especially about asking for what he wants.
Suddenly they are on the same team and one is displaced from their position and talked into sharing an apartment at least temporarily. Awkward laced with sexual tension. Neither was looking for a relationship and each had their reasons. But the more time they spend together, the more they enjoy it, and the more it scares them both. It is one thing to flirt or blow off some steam, but catching feelings or shooting for something real would bring a whole other host of complications.
This is a sweet, sexy, supposed-to-be-a-one-night-stand, second chance, roommates/teammates-to-lovers novella about two good guys who find a connection when they are not looking. They challenge each other to get out of their comfort zones and figure out what they really want to be happy. But their situation also comes with some unique challenges.

A grumpy/sunshine, rivals-to-lovers, sexy standalone novella from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely and newcomer KD Casey!
Don’t play dirty.
That’s the code I live by on and off the field.
The other?
Don’t get distracted.
Not by the media, not by hookups, and definitely not by our rival team’s ridiculously charming star player, who loves to whisper dirty nothings to me every time we play ball.
And sure, his offers are tempting, but he’s the love ‘em and leave ‘em type, and I want the real thing.
So I resist.
But the night he steals second on me in the biggest game of the year, the guy’s a whole lot harder to ignore. Especially after a filthy postgame kiss leaves me wanting all the things I can’t have.
What's the risk in playing dirty just one time?
