An emotional, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine, queer mid-century romance for fans of Evvie Drake Starts Over, about grief and found family, between the new star shortstop stuck in a batting slump and the reporter assigned to (reluctantly) cover his first season-set in the same universe as We Could Be So Good.The 1960 baseball season is shaping up to be the worst year of Eddie OLearys life. He cant manage to hit the ball, his new teammates hate him, hes living out of a suitcase, and hes homesick. When the teams owner orders him to give a bunch of interviews to some snobby reporter, hes ready to call it quits. He can barely manage to behave himself for the length of a game, let alone an entire season. But hes already on thin ice, so he has no choice but to agree.Mark Bailey is not a sports reporter. He writes for the arts page, and these days hes barely even managing to do that much. Hes had a rough year and just wants to be left alone in his too-empty apartment, mourning a partner hed never been able to be public about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New Yorks obnoxious new shortstop in a stunt to get the struggling newspaper more readers.Isolated together within the crush of an anonymous city, these two lonely souls orbit each other as they slowly give in to the inevitable gravity of their attraction. But Mark has vowed that hell never be someones secret ever again, and Eddie cant be out as a professional athlete. Its just them against the world, and theyll both have to decide if thats enough.
