Welcome to Stillwell, Texas
Fair Game: A fake dating, small-town baseball romance
Offseason Starts November 11, 2026!
Delaney Harris is a sharp-talking, type A overachiever who’s never missed a goal she's set for herself. A relationship has just never been one of them.
Her sports gossip podcast is finally taking off, a major studio is interested, and after years of chasing her big break, she's closer than ever. Temporarily moving to tiny Stillwell, Texas, wasn't part of the plan. Neither was becoming fast friends with her twin brother's teammate.
Boone Maddox is Stillwell's favorite hometown success story. Too bad he doesn't feel like one.
He just pitched the Sliders to a championship, but after three seasons stuck in Double-A, the call-up he's been hoping for still hasn't come. An easy, unexpected friendship with his teammate's twin sister is the one bright spot in a game of waiting.
Then one photo of them together hits the internet, and suddenly Delaney's podcast is getting more attention, Boone's name is generating buzz again, and pretending they're together starts looking like a very good idea.
The deal is simple: fake it through the offseason, then go back to being friends once spring training starts. It should be easy, since Boone's version of a perfect date night is a pizza delivery and strong opinions about walk-up songs.
Except convincing an entire town they're falling for each other means actually spending time together. And when a weekend in Dallas leaves them sharing a hotel room with only one bed, pretending starts to feel dangerously close to the real thing.
They've always known where the fake relationship ends. The problem is figuring out what happens to the very real one they've built underneath it.
Fair Game is a small-town baseball romance featuring fake dating, teammate's sister, forced proximity, only one bed, and a slow burn worth the wait.
Bases Loaded: A Small-Town Baseball Romance
Available Now!
Harper Callahan came home to Stillwell, Texas to rebuild her life. Not to find a six-foot-one MLB pitcher nearly naked in her grandmother’s guest house.
She left behind a marriage to a baseball player that cost her everything—her career, her confidence, and about ten years she’d really like back. She’s done with athletes. Especially the ones who are too good-looking for their own good, say exactly the right thing at exactly the right time, and have absolutely no business believing in her like nobody else ever has.
Austin Lexington has never been anything less than exceptional. Until now. Six weeks in a small Texas town, rehabbing an elbow that may or may not cooperate, trying to figure out who he is when the game isn’t going his way. Stillwell is a pit stop, not a destination. And the sharp-tongued photographer next door is definitely not part of the plan.
But when they end up under the same roof, the line between "I can't stand you" and wanting more gets very, very thin. Between the stolen glances, the late nights, and the conversations that go longer than they should, their time together starts to mean something more.
Six weeks in a small town was always going to end. What they didn't count on was how much could change before it did. And when the clock runs out, they're both faced with a choice: the dreams they've fought for, or each other.
Bases Loaded is a steamy small-town sports romance with slow-burn tension, razor-sharp banter, and a love story that will make you laugh, ache a little, and root hard for two people who deserve it.
