“I can't afford to lose to Shane Michaels. When it comes to baseball or restraint.”

SHANE

This bro got invited to play with the big boys for Spring Training. Hell to the yes! I am so going to show the Jetties they need me on their Triple-A roster this year. Manifest.

Except for one little six-foot-four problem.

Jed Stone Jr. is back. Legend's son. Permanent scowl. Stands in my way like a wall I'm supposed to climb.

One I really, really want to climb.

He's hated me from the start and now it's bleeding into our game. If we don't fix this, we both lose and I refuse to be left behind.

Not again.

Call me crazy…but I have a plan I know I shouldn't.

Time to climb some walls.

JED

I was moments from The Show when my arm blew out.

But I'm back. This is my year. Quick stint in Triple-A, then I'm getting the call-up. Simple. Controlled. Focused.

Baseball is all I have left, and nothing is stopping me. Especially not perpetually smiling, cocky golden boys who think life is a walk in the park.

Shane Michaels is talented. The bane of my existence. And god-damned beautiful.

I shouldn't want him. I definitely shouldn't touch him. Considering he's straight, that shouldn't be difficult—until I find out he isn't.

I'm losing my control, and with it my scowl. After seven years of darkness, Shane feels like light breaking in.

But I learned long ago I'm not allowed to keep the people I love.
