Brief Description:
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 O’Leary’s life. He can’t manage to hit the ball, his new teammates
hate him, he’s living out of a suitcase, and he’s homesick. When the team’s
owner orders him to give a bunch of interviews to some snobby reporter,
he’s ready to call it quits. He can barely manage to behave himself for the
length of a game, let alone an entire season. But he’s 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 he’s barely even managing to do
that much. He’s had a rough year and just wants to be left alone in his
too-empty apartment, mourning a partner he’d never been able to be public
about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New
York’s 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 he’ll never
be someone’s secret ever again, and Eddie can’t be out as a professional
athlete. It’s just them against the world, and they’ll both have to decide
if that’s enough.
