Seven months. That’s all is was supposed to be. It was never meant to feel like this. Between every game, every flight, every win and loss, there are moments nobody sees. Cassie Bennett does. As a sports photographer newly arrived in Denver, she’s made a career out of capturing the quiet intimacy hidden beneath professional baseball. The exhausted smiles. The grief behind good games. The humanity between bases. Theo Maddox has spent years making sure nobody looks too closely at him. The Denver Outlaws’ star first baseman keeps his world small, controlled, and carefully guarded…until Cassie crashes into it with sharp wit, endless warmth, and a habit of seeing things he’d rather keep hidden. Over one unforgettable season, friendship blurs into something far more dangerous as they navigate healing, family, and the terrifying vulnerability of being truly known. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren’t found beneath stadium lights—but in the quiet moments between them.
