Hiding Secrets in the Outfield

Frankie Nebiolo is used to being the gorgeous secret other men recover with or experiment with, then leave behind.

His brother's teammate cannot keep his eyes off him, and Frankie is ready to give Jackson a discreet, scorching arrangement—so long as nobody gets attached.

For Jackson, baseball has always meant staying locked down, because being gay has never been an option in his family or in the locker rooms that made him.

Frankie becomes the hidden place where he can finally want something, but the closer they grow, the more the hiding cuts.

What began as a private escape leaves Jackson asking whether he can keep pretending when the secret starts to feel like the only real part of his life.
