SPECIAL EDITION
When the town’s golden boy falls for its silver fox sponsor, the biggest game won’t be on the field—it’ll be for their right to love out loud.
When outfielder Tanner “Foxy” Fox is traded to the Cedarwood Wildcats, he tells himself it’s just another season. His glory days may be winding down, but the fans still chant his name—and the spotlight has never scared him. What does? Being the only openly gay player on the roster in a town where not everyone is cheering.
The Anti-Gay Coalition wants him benched for good. Tanner refuses to shrink. Especially not when the team’s newest sponsor—respected local doctor Dane Bloom—steps up in more ways than one.
Dane never planned on sharing his home—or his heart—with a younger man. Reserved, controlled, and recently reminded how lonely success can be, he agrees to sponsor a player as a professional courtesy. He doesn’t expect Tanner Fox to move in, flip his carefully ordered life upside down, and make him crave something deeper than a casual arrangement. Behind Tanner’s confident grin is a man tired of being desired but never truly known. Behind Dane’s calm exterior is a hunger he’s kept buried for years. As attraction ignites and the town’s prejudice grows louder, they’ll have to decide if what they’re building is worth the risk.
Because in Cedarwood, playing it safe means losing everything.
Includes exclusive KU bonus scenes not in the original release.
