Happy March everyone! Foolās spring is in full swing here in NY. AKA it warms up just long enough to fool you into thinking it'll stay that way before dropping againāitās 18°F today but will be 60 later this week. š
I hope you're all staying warmāor coolācomfortable & cozy with some great books.
Speaking of books⦠how do you feel about a cover reveal?! But shh, it's just between us for the next few days.
also in this email: another Jamie & Amanda teaser, a chance to read their story early, & a featured bookš©·
The Future Play cover reveal!
Oh heyyy, Jamie š (no wonder Amanda has heart eyes for him)
Amanda Hamilton threw me off my game.
From the moment the strawberry-blonde heartstopper walked into my life, everything changed.
Sheās a mesmerizing force of nature and an absolute queen who deserves the world.
The thing is, Iām an idiot whoās already in a committed relationship with baseball. Without understanding how much she means to me, I screw everything up, and when I try to apologize, Iām met with an icy stare and a demand to prove I mean it.
As I work to do that, showing her my sincerity and slowly taking down the walls around her heart, I finally see the heartbroken girl beneath who wants nothing more than to be chosen and loved.
Once, I thought I couldnāt have baseball and love, but with every second I spend with Amanda, I know itās no longer a choice. She wormed her way into my heart, and now itās my job to prove Iām worthy of hers.
Every step I've made has been a play for the future I want. Now I'll do anything to show Amanda that while baseball may have been my first love, she's the love of my life, and the only person I want to share my future with.
Tropes:
š©·New adult baseball romance ā¾
šAcquaintances to friends to effed up to lovers
š©·Extrovert (her) x Introvert (him)

š©·He chooses her over and over
