The Way We Swing

By Logan Lane

Tanner Quinn has exactly two goals for his senior year: win a state championship in baseball and make sure NOBODY finds out he's gay. He's spent years building the perfect plan-on the field and off. No distractions. No drama. And absolutely no falling for a teammate.

Then Easton Chase shows up.

The new teammate has talent, a guarded smile, and a past he doesn't talk about. Somehow, he slips past Tanner's defenses just as easily as he turns double plays. Between summer practices, late-night Mario Kart battles, and the havoc stirred up by Tanner's chaos gremlin of a younger brother at the Quinn house, the line between teammates and something more begins to blur.

But Tanner has rules for a reason. A relationship could fracture the team, derail their shot at a title, and expose the secret he's worked so hard to protect. Easton might be worth the risk-but is Tanner ready to lose everything he's built just to be himself?

Winning state was always the dream.

Falling for his teammate was never part of the plan.
