When I kiss my best friend in a burst of joy, I'm struck by the surprising truth -- love is the wildest curveball of all.

Meet Cage Jenkins: the star pitcher of our university baseball team, a total Greek god in the making, and -- unfortunately -- my childhood best friend.

And then there's me, Hazel Lowell: the official team photographer, a proud introvert, and a hopeless mess when it comes to Cage.

To Cage, I'm still the girl next door he used to play water balloons with. To me, he's the lingering ache I've carried for years trapped in the friend zone. It all changes after we win the regional game. Something shifts, and suddenly, he's not JUST my best friend anymore.

But when every win counts, will Cage finally pitch for my heart, too? Or is this one game I'll have to lose?

If you enjoy the friends to lovers trope with a pining hero and a blushing heroine, then you'll fall for Cage and Hazel. This sweet, swoony, clean college sports romance with an HEA will give you all the feels.
