Collide ( Noah fisher x Reader ) ✅

With a history of anxiety, toxic parents, and an ex who left scars deeper than anyone can see, the last thing she needs is a roster full of cocky ballplayers testing her patience.

Secrets and Skyscrapers
For six years, Brooke and Cade Belmount forged a love story as resilient as it was passionate. She was his unwavering anchor, the steady presence that allowed professional baseball player Cade to not only manage a debilitating bladder condition but also to quiet the persistent echoes of a traumatic, abandoned childhood. With Brooke's constant support, his career with the Colorado Rockies became legendary: three phenomenal seasons capped by a World Series championship. They had built a life, a future, a home. Then came the call that shattered it all. The trade. Boston. The Red Sox. Cade was more than gutted. His bladder condition, a demon long kept at bay, roared back with a vengeance, threatening to derail everything. As his carefully constructed world began to crumble, Brooke found herself navigating not just a move to her old college town, but an unfamiliar landscape where her own professional support within the organization was suddenly absent, without an offer to transfer to the Red Sox Medical Team. Their foundation is tested, their love pushed to its limits, as they face this new, tumultuous chapter, another brutal curveball threatening to shatter the life they've so carefully built.Complete
The Familiar Face✅
Liv Foster and Noah Fisher were the kind of childhood friends who could finish each other's sentences and steal fries off each other's plates without asking. Summers meant baseball dirt under Noah's nails, sunburn on Liv's shoulders, and some kind of unspoken promise that they'd always be in each other's orbit. Cut to college-new freedom, same heartbeat-and somewhere between study sessions and late-night drives, friendship twisted into something heavier. They fell, hard. Until Noah did the one thing Liv thought he never would: he cheated. No drama explosion, no cinematic screaming. Just quiet devastation. She walked away and built walls out of professionalism and caffeine. Years later, Liv gets an email that looks like the universe playing a cruel joke: she's just been offered a job as assistant to the new athletic director for the Party Animals. The same chaotic rival team that loves glitter, pranks, and unhinged celebrations. The same team where Noah Fisher-number 12, golden-boy outfielder, heartbreak incarnate-now plays. Liv walks into that stadium like she owns her composure. Noah sees her for the first time in years, and every apology he rehearsed evaporates. Their dynamic turns into this tightrope walk between old habits and unresolved tension. He tries humor, she gives him silence. He makes a catch mid-game, and she refuses to look impressed. But rivalry has a strange way of making sparks dangerous again. Forced to collaborate for charity events, media shoots, and player discipline reports (because Noah definitely pulls pranks that end up on TikTok), they start peeling back the layers-resentment, guilt, that stupid old warmth that never really died. It's friends to lovers to strangers to lovers again, but this time older, warier, and more real. The question isn't whether they'll fall again-it's whether they can trust each other not to break what's already been rebuilt.

Book 6 Of The Playlist Series: I Love You, I'm Sorry✅
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.Complete
