The First Contact (Wild Pitch, #1)

What happens when baseball‘s golden boy collides with its most dangerous wild card? Ethan Cole has spent his entire life being perfect-the first overall pick, the ace pitcher, America‘s sweetheart with a picture-perfect smile hiding a secret that could destroy everything. When a bench-clearing brawl with rival slugger Nate Reyes makes national headlines, Ethan tells himself the fury burning in his chest is hatred. Nate Reyes has fought for every inch of his career. The scrappy underdog from the Bronx doesn‘t back down from anyone-especially not some privileged golden boy who‘s never had to prove himself. But the tension crackling between them in a stadium tunnel isn‘t anger. It‘s something far more dangerous. Now, forced together at the All-Star Game, they‘ll have to choose: keep playing enemies for the cameras, or risk everything for a connection that could change both their lives forever. *The First Contact* is an enemies-to-lovers MM sports romance perfect for fans of Rachel Reid and Eden Finley. Contains: slow-burn tension, rival teams, closeted athletes, and a first kiss worth waiting for.
