Description

He was supposed to be off-limits, but the way Benny Rodriguez looked at you that summer made you forget every rule. You're home for the summer after your first year of college, and nothing much has changed—your older brother, Alan, and his baseball-obsessed friends still treat your backyard like their own personal clubhouse. But Benny isn't just a boy anymore. He's a local legend, the star pitcher with a college scholarship and a golden future. He's also your brother's best friend, and he has a girlfriend. For years, you were just Alan's kid sister, nursing a secret, impossible crush. But this summer, the space between you crackles with a new, unspoken tension. It's in the lingering glances across the diamond, the way he finds excuses to talk to you alone, and the protective warmth in his eyes that feels like it's reserved just for you. You're caught in a dangerous game, torn between loyalty and a desire that could either lead to the greatest love of your life or shatter your world completely.
