He was chasing a championship.
He never expected to find a family waiting at home.
DYLAN
Baseball has always been easy to understand.
Throw the pitch. Win the game. Chase the next championship.
I've spent my entire life believing the only thing worth sacrificing for was the game. Then a little boy starts looking at me like I'm his hero. A beautiful single mom crashes through every wall I've spent years building.
Now, the future I've always planned isn't the one I want anymore.
Because trophies collect dust.
The right people become home.
AVERY
My life is simple.
I own my bakery. I raise my son. I keep my world small enough that nothing can break it. Then Dylan Porter walks through my door with a crooked smile, relentless charm, and a heart that's nothing like the headlines make it seem.
He makes my son laugh. He makes me feel seen. He makes me believe there might be room in our lives for something I stopped hoping for a long time ago.
But loving one of baseball's biggest stars means sharing him with the world. And when the spotlight finds us, we'll have to decide whether love is worth everything it demands. Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't falling in love...
It's believing you're finally home.
