My grandmother took me in when I was little. When she died, and I had to tell those named in her will of their inheritances, my world tilted.

Then they took me to a baseball game . . .

How can meeting one man make my legs feel like jelly and my heart thump like a helicopter?

The Batter's Box is a slow-burn, nerd / jock mm sports romance where two men following very different roads converge on the path to happiness.
