Playing for Keeps: A Forbidden Brother’s Teammate MM Baseball Romance
He was supposed to stay away from Coach Harlan’s soft-hearted son.
Instead, Liam Carter fell in love with him.
Liam is the cocky captain of the university baseball team — talented, reckless, emotionally guarded, and one bad decision away from destroying his future. Noah Harlan is everything Liam should shy, artistic, sensitive, and completely off-limits as the coach’s youngest son.
Working together for the team’s media department was never supposed to become dangerous.
But stolen glances turn into late-night conversations. Tension becomes obsession. And suddenly Liam can’t stop craving the one person capable of ruining everything he’s spent years building.
Noah has spent his entire life feeling too soft for the brutal world around him. Liam is the first person who makes him feel protected instead of weak… wanted instead of tolerated.
The deeper they fall, the harder it becomes to hide.
With championship pressure rising, teammates growing suspicious, and Noah’s protective older brother threatening to expose everything, Liam must decide what matters more — baseball or the boy who finally taught him how to love without fear.
Playing for Keeps is a high-heat MM college baseball romance featuring forbidden love, emotional healing, possessive tension, found family, hurt/comfort, jealousy, protective obsession, and a deeply emotional happily-ever-after.
