There's a ridiculous campus legend that one steamy encounter in the baseball locker room is basically a guarantee of marriage—and while our hero isn't exactly a believer, he's desperate enough to try anything to win over the girl who's captured his heart. When she keeps shutting him down, he realizes it might be time to throw caution (and his skepticism) to the wind and extend that infamous invitation. What unfolds is a deliciously fun ride filled with banter, chemistry, and the kind of sweet persistence that makes you root for him the whole way. If you love witty banter, charming baseball boys, and the thrill of watching someone take a chance on love, this is your next cozy sports romance!
