The Secret Season. Wild Pitch, #2

Two burner phones. One code name. A love that exists only in stolen hours and nameless hotel rooms. Ethan Cole and Nate Reyes's secret is six months old and already tearing them apart. By day, they're baseball's most explosive rivalry - traded insults in press conferences, brawls replayed on every highlight reel. By night, they're meeting in cities where no one knows their faces, building something real in rooms booked under fake names.
But the secret has rules. No calls during games. No texting from the ballpark. And absolutely no one can know - especially not Megan Hartley, the PR girlfriend Ethan's mother hand-picked to keep the cameras pointed in the wrong direction. When a suspicious reporter starts connecting their travels and a teammate asks one too many questions, the double life they've built begins to crack. The question isn't whether they'll be caught.
It's whether what they have is worth the wreckage that's coming. Some seasons change your stats. This one changes everything.
