You Phase (✓)
Hailey Alexiades has always kept her world small-close friends, quiet routines, and one golden rule: never date anyone from her brother Reese's baseball world. But that rule shatters the moment she steps into the buzzing rivalry between the Savannah Bananas and their wild counterparts, the Party Animals. Caught between two very different teammates-Mark Smith, steady and quietly magnetic, and Tanner Thomas, chaotic charm personified-Hailey's world begins to tilt. What starts as playful banter turns into something real, and soon she's slipping into a you phase she never saw coming. Torn between the pull of comfort and the thrill of unpredictability, Hailey must figure out what love really means, and whether choosing someone else means losing herself-or finally finding what feels right.Complete

Too Close To Ignore✅
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.

It Will Always Be You - A Banana Ball Love Story
Six months ago, KJ Jackson broke every rule and every wall around Allison Taylor's heart. He didn't mean to fall in love. She didn't believe she ever could. But somewhere between late-night rooftop kisses, whispered confessions, and a single "I love you" that shattered everything, they stopped being a maybe-and became everything. Now it's winter in Savannah. The season may be slow, but their relationship is anything but. Alli still refuses to call him her boyfriend. KJ still doesn't care. She's in his bed, in his apartment, in his world-and he's never letting her go. Their chemistry? Off the charts. Their banter? Unmatched. Their bond? Unbreakable. But love doesn't erase scars. And the past doesn't stay buried forever. With the 2026 Banana Ball tour looming, new challenges on the horizon, and secrets threatening the peace they've built, KJ and Alli must fight harder than ever to hold onto what they've found-because this time, it's not just a game. It's real. It's messy. It's them. And it will always be her.Complete
