TJ is a professional baseball player who's learned to keep his life neatly divided-faith, ambition, and desire carefully separated after growing up in a strict Catholic household. Falling for Joseph, a kind and steady doctor, threatens that balance in ways TJ never expected.
What begins as friendship deepens into something tender and undeniable, shaped by quiet dates, forest trails near Portland, and conversations that linger long after they end. As TJ wrestles with what it means to choose love openly, the quiet support of longtime friends-especially Michael-reminds him that he doesn't have to face it alone.
At its heart, Between Innings and Heartbeats is a story about trust, chosen family, and the courage to step fully into love-both on the field and off.
