Lexi Jackson is one of the University of Florida's best softball players-a powerhouse behind the plate with a cannon for an arm and a fire that burns brighter than the stadium lights. her teammates adore her, her coaches depend on her, and every batter who dares to steal on her quickly regrets it.
but as her final season with the Gators gets underway, her best friend surprises her with tickets to a Banana Ball game in New Orleans for the weekend. Lexi expects an evening of laughs, trick plays, wild stunts and a chance to see her brother: the KJ Jackson-crowd favorite, social media heartthrob, and the one Banana Ball player fans practically melt over.
what she doesn't expect is to catch a foul ball... and the eye of the Party Animals' charismatic catcher, Bronson "Bronny" Balholm.
what starts as a playful moment caught on camera quickly turns into a viral clip and soon, DMs, late-night texts, and batting cage meetups follow. Bronny's known for his confidence, his swagger, and his larger than life personality, but around Lexi, he finds himself thrown off his game. She's competitive, sharp-tongued, and refuses to be another highlight in his reel.
as Lexi chases her championship dreams and Bronny tours with the team that turns baseball into entertainment, the two must navigate the blurred lines between fame, rivalry, and something that feels a lot like love. but when viral fame and real emotions collide, Lexi has to decide if she's willing to take her eyes off the ball or risk striking out on the one thing she never saw coming.
Because sometimes, love doesn't throw a fastball-it catches you looking.
