Xavier Interning at the ever-growing and reputable sports agency, King Sports, has been my dream job. This is what I want to do with my life. And I have one chance to impress my boss, Damon king, that I’m perfect for one of the coveted full-time junior agent positions up for grabs at the end of the summer. I’m hoping I can get some one-on-one time with him at the upcoming King Sports corporate retreat. The only problem is, Camden Wheeler. My nemesis. My rival. He also wants the job. College was four years of Camden being king on campus, while it was four years of torture for me. Being a sports agent is all I’ve ever wanted. Being a sports agent is Camden’s backup. Camden couldn’t make it in major league baseball, so now he’s trying to weasel his way into my spot, and I’m not going to let him walk all over me like he did in college. It’s game on.

Thad Failing to make it in pro ball left me absolutely devastated. Baseball has been my life, my dream, but it’s time to move on. Becoming a sports agent was always my backup plan, and now that I’m interning at the biggest queer-focused firm in the country, I’m doing my best not to let my bitterness toward baseball affect my future. That’s really difficult when I’m assigned to babysit Kelley Afton, hotshot rookie pitcher for Philly. He has everything I ever wanted, and he doesn’t even appreciate it. I didn’t become an agent so I could soothe the ego of diva athletes. His constant need for validation from others frustrates me to no end, but that’s probably a good thing. Because if he didn’t have that, I’d find him irresistibly my type. Attraction could lead to crossing lines which would put my position at King Sports in jeopardy, and I can’t have that. I don’t have a backup for my backup plan.
