Kinsley Bennett doesn't like Tanner Thomas. Well... that's what she tells herself. As the Bananas' media whiz, Kinsley's job is to capture the perfect highlights-without letting the Party Animals' star outfielder ruin her shots. Tanner? He lives to do exactly that. Smirks, winks, pranks... you name it. Their on-camera rivalry goes viral on TikTok, and fans can't get enough of Banana Girl vs Party Animal Boy. But off-camera? The tension is way too real. A tour bus mix-up forces Kinsley and Tanner to spend every mile together. Pranks escalate. Snacks disappear. Karaoke turns into laughter-fueled chaos. And late at night, when the stadium is silent and the stars are out, their rivalry might just be hiding something... softer, realer, impossible to ignore. When a false rumor threatens Tanner's reputation, Kinsley has to decide: keep playing the professional, sarcastic media girl... or step up and defend the guy she's been secretly falling for all along. Under the stadium lights, with fans watching, the rivalry reaches its peak-and maybe, just maybe, turns into something neither of them expected.

Rae Flower has never been dazzled by baseball boys. As a veterinarian, her life revolves around healing strays and keeping her heart steady-far from the messy drama of stadium lights and fleeting fame. But when her best friend Y/N drags her to a Firefighters game, she meets Zachary "Zac" Bridges: the older Bridges brother, catcher with a dangerous smile, and a reputation that follows him like wildfire. Zac is used to adoration, but Rae doesn't play along. She sees the cracks in his charm, the way he hides loneliness under bravado. Against her better judgment, she lets him in. Their connection feels different-until the lies start surfacing. A "just friend." A late-night message. A familiar face too close for comfort. When the truth unravels, Rae learns the hardest lesson of all: betrayal doesn't always come with cheating. Sometimes it's the silence, the half-truths, the way someone breaks your trust piece by piece. Caught between regret and desire, Zac has to face the one title he can't outrun: traitor. And Rae must decide if her heart can forgive-or if this time, she'll save herself instead. Book 7 of The Playlist Series is a raw, emotional story of trust broken, lessons learned, and the kind of love that doesn't always get a second chance.

Tanner Thomas, #4 outfielder for the Party Animals, has always lived with one foot on the gas and one hand on the self-destruct button. Charming, reckless, and a little too good at pretending he doesn't care, he hides his scars behind a crooked smile and late-night drives down roads that still haunt him. Bailey Sawyer knows better than to get tangled up in Tanner's chaos. She's steady where he's storm, soft where he's sharp, and careful with her heart in ways he's never learned to be. But when fate throws them back together-two summers after a fight that broke them apart-the past refuses to stay buried. What begins as sharp words and slammed doors slowly unravels into late-night confessions, laughter that feels like home, and the dangerous realization that maybe love never left at all. Between baseball lights, music that says the things they can't, and the echoes of lyrics Tanner once wrote-I love you, I'm sorry-they're forced to decide if second chances are worth the risk of heartbreak all over again. This is a story of wreckage and rebuilding, of the age-old curse of loving too hard and too fast, and of finding beauty in the crash. Because sometimes the most haunting love stories aren't the ones that end-they're the ones that refuse to.
