Chasing the Fall Classic

Logan spent six months searching ballparks and coffee shops for Georgie, the bookish girl he met at a Spring Training fan event, even as anxiety wrecked the pitch he could not afford to lose.

Sent down to the minors, he walks into a shop that feels like home and finds her behind the counter, still living with her mother's death while her stepmother keeps the family coffee shop running.

Georgie had spent those same months trying to forget the baseball player who talked books with her for thirty minutes, because she no longer lets herself want more than a quiet life in their sleepy Southern town.

Now he is back with her name already on his lips, and the distance she built starts giving way to late conversations and a tenderness she never planned to risk.

Then Logan is called up to the Majors in time for the World Series, and the Fall Classic he has chased his whole life collides with the only future she ever allowed herself to keep.
