Seventh Inning Crush

By Mark Boyer

Sean O'Malley is used to pressure. As a star shortstop, he knows how to perform under stadium lights, how to smile for cameras, how to be exactly what everyone expects. What he doesn't know is how to be wanted for who he is when the game is over.

Chris Jensen never planned to fall for a professional athlete. A Harvard student juggling three jobs and a future he can't afford to lose, Chris keeps his head down and his goals practical. Love-especially with someone from Sean's world-feels like a risk he can't justify.

They meet by accident. A spilled beer. A glance that lingers. A crush that refuses to stay harmless.

As their connection deepens, so do the differences between them: money, fame, class, and the quiet weight of where Chris comes from. When ambition pulls Chris toward Washington, D.C., and Sean's season keeps him rooted in Boston, they're forced to decide whether what they're building can survive the distance-and the truth.

Because love isn't about being rescued or admired.

It's about choosing each other, again and again, even when it would be easier to walk away.

Seventh Inning Crush is a heartfelt, sexy gay romance about class, confidence, and finding something real when the game is on the line.
