Switch Pitching - Paperback

by S. J. Crawford (Author)

He's my teammate, he's straight, and we live together. Three strikes should be enough to shut my feelings down, but the rules of baseball don't matter when you're off the field.

Ethan

Making it to the big leagues is everything I've been working for. I'm ready to show that I belong with Boston, but I didn't count on James Hernandez. He's the team's star rookie pitcher, and the guy is as charming as he is talented. My goal is to keep my head down and work hard, but James is everywhere-in the dugout, in our shared apartment, and in my head.

I'm not sure if he's a distraction I can afford. I've always been able to keep my guard up, but around James, I feel it slipping. That's dangerous, because the closer we get, the harder it is to stick to my number one rule: don't fall for your straight friends.

James

Baseball has always been my life, and getting signed by Boston is a dream come true. Everything is falling into place, but it's a little more complicated when your new teammate is Ethan Sullivan. He keeps to himself, but there's just something different about him that I can't put my finger on.

He's talented, sure, but he's also way too easy to be around. I thought this season was just about proving myself, but the more time I spend with Ethan, the more I wonder if I'm playing a completely different game.

Switch Pitching is a bi-awakening, friends-to-lovers MM romance. It is the first book in the Off the Bench series, but can be read as a standalone.
