Bunt in the Baking Tent

Baseball fans know Matty Miller as a two-time Gold Glove nominee and the American League West's sexiest player, but the bisexual Alabama farm boy would rather blame pregame nerves than admit what his left fielder does to him.

Peter Diaz, the Roasters' outgoing Puerto Rican star, quotes Chris Evans movies, wears his heart in the open, and has spent years wanting his teammate while writing explicit Roasters fanfiction under a secret name.

Those anonymous stories turn into real flirtation, until Matty learns the author is the man he has been falling for and the hurt in his eyes lands harder than any strikeout.

To win back that trust, Diaz joins him on a nationally televised holiday baking competition during the All-Star break.

Mutual pining, one shared bed, and a naked swim follow them out of the baking tent and into the locker room, where pretending this is only friendship becomes impossible.
