A popular freshman already on varsity baseball enjoys the attention, the options, and the ego boost that come with it. He talks to a lot of girls and likes keeping things casual, but he ends up giving one girl more time and consistency than the others. The problem isn’t guilt or confusion—it’s the quiet tension of liking his lifestyle while one connection starts to stand out more than he planned.
For as long as anyone in Maple Creek could remember, there had always been three constants. The Ashcroft twins. The Harvey boy. And the fact that Y/N Ashcroft and Tyler Grey Harvey could not stand each other. They bickered over everything. Who cheated during tag in second grade. Who broke the treehouse ladder. Who deserved the last slice of pizza at neighborhood barbecues. Who was right. Who was wrong. Who started it first. If you asked Y/N, Tyler was the most irritating boy she’d ever met. If you asked Tyler… He’d shrug and say, “She’s impossible.” He conveniently left out that he’d been hopelessly in love with her since they were four years old. It started in preschool when she’d shared half of her fruit snacks with him after he’d forgotten his lunch. She’d forgotten all about it. He never had. Unfortunately for Tyler, Y/N spent the next fourteen years making his life as difficult as humanly possible. She stole baseballs during practice just to annoy him. He’d hide her backpack before school. She called him arrogant. He called her dramatic. Their arguments became so routine that the entire neighborhood stopped paying attention unless someone started laughing. The only person caught in the middle was Y/N’s twin brother. Tyler’s best friend. His catcher. His favorite person besides the one person who couldn’t stand him. “…One day she’s gonna kill you,” her brother warned. Tyler only smiled. “Worth it.”
Elias Row is baseball’s biggest star—charismatic, talented, and known for his home runs as much as his reputation off the field.

Everything changes when he notices a woman at one of his games who isn’t impressed by his fame. Drawn to her independence and honesty, Elias finds himself pursuing something he’s never truly wanted before: a real relationship.

Everyone knows Y/N Vaughn. University of Louisville’s golden girl, the face of college softball, and the most dangerous athlete in the NCAA, Y/N has spent three years dominating the sport. Record-breaking stats, back-to-back national championships, and millions of fans have made her untouchable. Now, entering her senior year, she wants one thing: a third straight title and a legacy no one will ever match. She’s beautiful, ruthless, and impossible to ignore. Entire stadiums boo her before games even start, all hoping to watch someone finally take her down. No one has. Then Lucas Bennett transfers to Louisville. A future MLB draft pick and Louisville baseball’s newest star, Lucas came for one reason only: baseball. He doesn’t care about campus fame, social media, or college softball—until his teammates drag him to opening night. The second Y/N Vaughn steps onto the field, the stadium erupts. Cheers. Screams. Boos. Lucas doesn’t understand how one girl can control an entire stadium with just her presence. Then he watches her play. And suddenly, he can’t stop thinking about her. There’s just one problem—Y/N Vaughn has zero interest in him. For the first time in years, Lucas is the one being ignored. And he hates it. As Louisville’s biggest stars are pulled into each other’s orbit, curiosity turns into tension, tension turns into obsession, and obsession turns into something far more dangerous. Because neither of them likes losing. And neither of them expected their biggest challenge to be each other.
