Caught Looking: An Extra Innings Rom-Com

Blake Donovan has spent five years maintaining careful distance from his best friend's sister. Tyler made it clear: Sloane Abbott is off-limits. But when Blake's apartment floods, he finds himself with nowhere to go except Sloane's couch—and what was supposed to be a temporary arrangement becomes the most complicated decision of his life. Sloane has been waiting for this. Five years of stolen glances at team events, five years of fighting an attraction she can't afford. Living with Blake transforms everything—those whispered conversations at midnight, the way he touches her like she's something precious, the realization that the off-limits boundary was the only thing keeping them from combusting.

But their fragile secret is threatened when Peyton Shaw, a sports journalist digging into Blake's personal life, notices inconsistencies in their relationship timeline. As questions spiral and Blake's career becomes collateral damage in their privacy invasion, Sloane and Blake must navigate impossible choices: whether to come clean to Tyler before it destroys him, whether their relationship can survive the fallout of a deception that started as a joke and became dangerously real. Blake has always been disciplined, strategic, in control. But loving Sloane means throwing away the playbook. It means choosing her publicly, consequence be damned. It means risking the friendship that defined him and the career he's worked for since childhood—all for a woman Tyler told him he could never have.

In a season where everything hangs in the balance, Blake will have to decide who he wants to be: the player who protects himself, or the man willing to burn it all down for love.
