Slugger

Rule one of being the coach's kid: don't fall for the players. Tommy Jenkins has spent the past three years as the batboy for the Wildbrook University's baseball team. He keeps his head down, his grades up, and his distance from the players who treat him like a kid brother at best, invisible at worst. Evan Brock is a hot-tempered slugger with a reputation for breaking rules and hearts in equal measure. What was supposed to be a night out on the town with his teammates ends in a bar fight that goes viral on social media, suddenly putting Tommy in the position of babysitting the team's biggest problem. Sharing hotel rooms and keeping Evan out of trouble quickly turns into something hotter, deeper, and far more dangerous. Because Evan needs something only Tommy can give. Behind closed doors, they burn. On campus and in the dugout, Evan won't meet Tommy's eyes. A reputation is everything, and falling for the coach's son is a risk his draft prospects can't survive. Not if he wants the future he's been chasing his whole life. As the season heats up and the stakes climb higher, Tommy will have to decide how long he's willing to be kept a secret before it breaks him.
