A novel by

 
 
She’s been his best friend for years. He’s been in love with her since the moment they met.

Everyone in Mango Nation knows Rikki and Mila. They’re two fearless catchers, master dugout banter, and during spring training are partnered in everything that makes Mango Ball unlike anything else baseball is known for. From dancing between innings, games, and unforgettable nights, they’re always side by side.

What Mils doesn’t know is that Rikki has been in love with her since high school.

He convinced himself she only had eyes for someone else, so he settled for being the best friend she deserved instead of the man he wanted to be for her.

But when a preseason surprise filled with nonstop chaos, viral moments, and the unforgettable Mango Nation at Sea cruise start to blurring the lines between friendship and something much more, Rikki begins to wonder if he’s been wrong about her feelings all along.

Because the lingering touches feel different. The stolen glances last a little longer. And the chemistry they’ve spent years leaving on the field becomes impossible to ignore.

Welcome back to a new side of Mango Bay.
